🧬 Çatalhöyük'te aile kan bağıyla değil sosyal bağ ile kurulmuş! Genetik analizler gösteriyor ki, zamanla aynı evde yaşayanlar biyolojik akraba olmaktan çıkıyor. Kız çocukları mezarlarda 5 kat daha fazla hediyeyle gömülüyor. 🔍 Neolitik sosyal yapının şaşırtıcı hikayesi.
🧬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.
🌾 Tarım, her zaman insanlarla birlikte göç etmedi. Yeni antik DNA çalışması gösteriyor ki, Batı Anadolu’da insanlar yerlerinde kalırken, tarım ve köy hayatı fikir ve pratikler yoluyla yayıldı.
🌾 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.
