A 12-year DNA study of ancient remains from the Neolithic city of Çatalhoyuk in Turkey provides evidence of a female-centered society over 9,000 years ago, with maternal lineage playing a key role in social organization and females receiving more grave goods, supporting the idea of a matriarchal society.
Researchers analyzing DNA from over 130 skeletons at the ancient city of Çatalhöyük in Turkey suggest it was likely ruled by females in a matriarchal society more than 9,000 years ago, with evidence indicating a strong maternal lineage and preferential treatment of women, challenging Western assumptions about societal structures.
DNA analysis of ancient remains from Çatalhöyük suggests that women played a central role in household formation during the Neolithic period, indicating a society with significant female influence, though not necessarily a true matriarchate.
