Amazing #eseb2025 talk!
🧬In Neolithic Çatalhöyük, family was built on social relations rather than blood ties.
Genetic analysis shows that over time, co-residents were no longer genetic relatives. Female subadults were buried with 5x more grave goods.
🔍A surprising story of Neolithic social life.

New ancient DNA research shows that in western Anatolia, while communities stayed put, farming and village life spread through the movement of ideas and practices.

New genomic research suggests Çatalhöyük was a female-centered society. The discovery builds on past archaeological theories and evidence like this "mother goddess" statue. 🏺🧪
Ancient 'female-centered' society thrived 9,000 years ago in proto-city in Turkey
Genetic analysis of skeletons buried in a Neolithic proto-city in Turkey reveals that female lineages were important in early agricultural societies.

🙌 Exciting new study from #Anatolia published by @compevohumang.bsky.social in @science.org today! Anthropologists have long argued that kinship and family do not need to be genetically oriented. The study from Çatalhöyük wonderfully highlights this point also for Neolithic in Anatolia. Congrats!
The nature of Neolithic society is one of the most debated topics in archaeology–a debate that's almost impossible to settle w/ conventional methods alone. Now, new DNA data from a site in Turkey called Çatalhöyük points to a significant role for women: www.science.org/content/arti... @science.org

"Background mobility", the low but steady movement of individuals sharing ideas and materials, can explain how Neolithic practices spread without mass migration in early Neolithic of Western Anatolia.

In West Anatolia, we found thousands of years of genetic continuity despite rapid cultural changes. People adopted farming through idea exchange, not population replacement.

Key findings: Our results showed that the Neolithic transition wasn't uniform: some regions saw cultural adoption, others experienced population movement, and some combined both.
