Happy to share our new study I contributed to during my master’s: "Female lineages and changing kinship patterns in Neolithic Çatalhöyük." @compevohumang.bsky.social
Female lineages and changing kinship patterns in Neolithic Çatalhöyük
Combining 131 paleogenomes with bioarchaeological and archaeological data, we studied social organization and gendered practices in Çatalhöyük East Mound (7100 to 5950 BCE), a major Neolithic settleme...

🙌 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
Stone Age farmers’ households passed from mother to daughter
Moms and daughters were at the center of the family in ancient Çatalhöyük, ancient DNA and archaeological evidence suggest
