Researchers at the University of Adelaide have found six cases of Down syndrome in the last age’s human population. Down syndrome is a condition in which the person has an additional chromosome or an additional piece of a chromosome. Researchers have found this amazing search after the DNA analysis of around 10,000 people.
These people were from ancient and pre-modern society. The results of this study have been published in a journal Nature Communications. Results have indicated that they were young when individuals died and they were buried with care within homes.
He was also buried in special buildings reserved for rituals. This shows how communities in the past had shown excessive care and anxiety for people suffering from Down syndrome. Researchers are now hoping to find out how their ancestors used to care for each other in these cases. These six people were from different places in Europe, i.e.—the first found in a church cemetery in Helsinki, Finland.
The other two Greek islands were found on the Age of Age Bulgarian tel site. The remaining three persons were discovered in two Iron Age sites in Spain. The names of these two sites of the Iron Age in Spain were Alto de la Cruz and Las Eretas. These sites have been around 2,500 to 5,000 years ago.
According to their age estimates at the time of death, these children probably do not survive at birth. Not only cases of this therapeutic problem, but researchers have also got an infant’s skeleton suffering from Edwards syndrome.
Edwards syndrome is a rare but serious condition that affects the baby’s lifetime. Due to this condition, the baby, whose skeleton has been discovered, possibly only lived for a 40-40-week gestation period. The child was also given special bath
. Archaeologist and co-author of this Research, Roberto Risk interacted with The Conversation Portal in relation to this remarkable search. Roberto said, “We don’t know why this happened.” According to Roberto, but it seems like these people were consciously choosing these babies to have special clocks. “
