Maybe he fell asleep on the kitchen floor after a midnight fridge raid following a long night of binge drinking.
Then =boom!= burried in an avalanche.
Poor guy.

Maybe he was a stay-at-home dad.

strrreeeeettttttccchhhhhh

these archaeologists have a pretty limited view of homosexuality. could none of the other men have been gay? i think recent events like dadt repeal and the fact that alexander the great enjoyed his share of anthrosexual behavior might trump that assumption.

Whoops, make that 5000.

There was a such thing as transsexuals 500 years ago?

i hope he was gay, because gay is awesome.

Haha that's quite an assumption.

Looking at the skull, and applying current thinking and in depth knowledge of phrenology, this guy was probably a sociopath and a liar… but definitely not gay.

As an anthropologist, these claims are wildly inappropriate and biased. You cannot possibly apply social thoughts about being gay or transsexual in the day and age we live in now to an individual who lived 5,000 years ago. Ever noticed at museums how reconstructions of hominids always have women cooking or sitting around a fire and men holding spears or in the act of hunting? That's a perfect example. Applying current (and supposed) gender roles to beings who lived thousands of years ago only perpetuates stereotypes. I could go on and on about how stupid these claims are.

Eve's sassy gay friend

i dont believe it where his fist didlo?

There is just so much wrong with this I simply don't know where to start.

I believe it.
The grave is fabulously neat and tidy,
the skeleton has perfect pose and posture,
and his arms are crossed in terse disapproval at whomever broke that magnificent pottery .

What a bunch of crap. That's quite a leap when all you have is a pile of bones.

the daily mail is really assumptious in strange ways

Well if he was transsexual, maybe one of those was his penis jar, you know, just in case he wanted to switch back in the afterlife.

The Daily Mail hates gays, single parents and immigrants so this article is just one of their worst fears realised.

They were not cavemen. They were modern humans who did not live in caves.

What if he was a Potter? If a woman was buried with swords that mean she was a lesbian?
