CompEvo & HumanG Labs @compevohumang.bsky.social · 28/06/2025🌾 Agriculture didn’t always spread with mobility of people. 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. 12517

Reposted by CompEvo & HumanG LabsKristina Killgrove @killgrove.bsky.social · 26/06/2025New genomic research suggests Çatalhöyük was a female-centered society. The discovery builds on past archaeological theories and evidence like this "mother goddess" statue. 🏺🧪livescience.comAncient 'female-centered' society thrived 9,000 years ago in proto-city in TurkeyGenetic analysis of skeletons buried in a Neolithic proto-city in Turkey reveals that female lineages were important in early agricultural societies. 721651
CompEvo & HumanG Labs @compevohumang.bsky.social · 27/06/2025🧬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. 15434

Genetik analizler gösteriyor ki, zamanla aynı evde yaşayanlar biyolojik akraba olmaktan çıkıyor.

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.

Reposted by CompEvo & HumanG LabsDilek Koptekin @dilekopter.bsky.social · 26/06/2025Our research confirms the archaeological adage "pots don't equal people." and showed ideas traveled further than people in the ancient Aegean. 1111
Reposted by CompEvo & HumanG LabsDilek Koptekin @dilekopter.bsky.social · 26/06/2025"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. 191
Reposted by CompEvo & HumanG LabsDilek Koptekin @dilekopter.bsky.social · 26/06/2025In West Anatolia, we found thousands of years of genetic continuity despite rapid cultural changes. People adopted farming through idea exchange, not population replacement. 191
Reposted by CompEvo & HumanG LabsDilek Koptekin @dilekopter.bsky.social · 26/06/2025Key findings: Our results showed that the Neolithic transition wasn't uniform: some regions saw cultural adoption, others experienced population movement, and some combined both. 171
