I'm very excited to share the central paper from my PhD out now in Science Advances. We investigated how social effects among neighbors shape the evolution of reproductive cooperation and the pace of adaptive population growth among the Indigenous Tsimane of Bolivia.

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
