Question

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Read the passage. It remains to be explained why Ötzi's maternal lineage [mother’s family line] has disappeared, while his paternal lineage [father’s family line]—named G2a—still exists in Europe. To clarify this point, researchers at EURAC compared Ötzi's . . . DNA . . . with available data from numerous ancient samples found at 14 different archaeological sites throughout Europe. The results showed that the paternal lineage of Ötzi' was very common in different regions in Europe during the Neolithic Age, while his maternal lineage probably existed only in the Alps. –"New Discoveries Concerning Ötzi's Genetic History,” European Academy of Bozen/Bolzano (EURAC) What is the central idea of this passage? Ötzi lived during the Neolithic age. The family line of Ötzi’s mother is very complex. Ötzi’s DNA is too complex to study in a lab setting. The family line of Ötzi’s father is common in Europe.

Me me I want brainliest plz plz pretty pretty plz

Answer 2

Answer:

I think the central idea of the passage is that the family Otzi's father is common in Europe.

Explanation:

My justification for my answer is that his DNA kind of matched the one of the people living in the Neolithic Age. This shows that maybe he was a descendant of those people.

I think the first answer is wrong because people of the Neolithic Age were from the past and I don't think DNA existed by then.

And the think the second is wrong because his mother's family was just rare it wasn't complex.

Finally the last is wrong because the DNA wasn't so hard to test it was also easy to compare it because there were other samples to be compared with.

That leaves us with the last answer as correct.
