Archaeologists have unearthed the 5,000-year-old remains of the world’s first gay caveman.
The bones (photographed above) – said to date back to between 2900 and 2500BC – were discovered buried in a manner normally reserved for women of the Corded Ware culture during the Copper Age. The skeleton was found in a Prague suburb in the Czech Republic with its head pointing eastwards and surrounded by domestic jugs – rituals only previously seen in female graves.

Lead archaeologist Kamila Remisova said:
‘From history and ethnology, we know that people from this period took funeral rites very seriously so it is highly unlikely that this positioning was a mistake. ‘Far more likely is that he was a man with a different sexual orientation, homosexual or transsexual.’
