Researchers have found an interesting new thing in China. They identified the remains of a young man with a cleft lip or palate. This is the first archaeological case of this condition ever found in China. Dr. Xiaofan Sun and her team published their study in a science journal.
The young man survived into adulthood, which means he received special care as a baby. When he died, he was buried with full rights. This suggests that his community accepted him and did not treat him differently because of his condition. The finding shows that people with facial differences could be included in society.
