🧬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.

Colossal Bioscience did not revive dire wolves, despite a sensationalist Time Magazine cover story. Making genetically modified animals that are cosplaying as extinct species is not de-extinction.

This cover unfortunately reflects the orientalist bias numerous Western observers have against Turkey. If anything, the widespread protests of last week have shown that as much as the government might want to end Turkish democracy, people of Turkey are not willing to give up that easily.+

For anyone wondering what's happening in Türkiye right now (from the BBC's perspective): www.bbc.com/news/live/cq...

Turkey live updates: Turkey says 1,133 people arrested in five days and issues warning to protesters
The protests began last week when Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu - a key opponent of President Erdogan - was arrested.

Our latest piece urges the conservation of Central Anatolian grasslands, which are heavily used and now threatened by afforestation. Often misperceived as degraded forests from millennia of human activity, these ecosystems deserve recognition and protection! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

My MSc paper is getting lots of hits for the job I did tbh. Don't get me wrong, I think we did a great job, but I think its cited mostly b/c it covers a usually neglected area (Black Sea region, Caucasus, northern Iran). Another reminder that we need to expand the science out of global "northwest".

New study by Behr et al. finds #AfricanWildDogs that disperse have lower mortality than those not dispersing. Could group living be riskier for some age classes than assumed due to limited resource access? Time to reevaluate costs of dispersal. Read now: journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/72
