The study also found individuals with Jacobs syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, and Down syndrome from various historical periods. The findings provide insight into how perceptions of gender identity have evolved over time and demonstrate the potential of ancient DNA analysis in understanding human biology and social dynamics throughout history.
