In examining the severed hands of slain enemy combatants during Egypt’s 15th dynasty (1640 B.C. to 1530 B.C.), Julia Gresky, a paleopathologist from the German Archaeological Institute in Berlin, determined their biological sex using a noninvasive measure that compares the length of the index finger with the length of the ring finger.
