The idea of a being having characteristics of both sexes predates the human race. Cave paintings and artifacts found in Cro-magnon and early Homo sapiens settlements show transgendered figures. It is difficult to say to what extent transgenderism was found in earlier societies. Men wearing skirts and bright green eyeshadow would be considered transgendered in modern society, but in some parts of Egypt, skirt-like garments and eyeshadow were worn by many men.
