Also many thanks to @KristinaKillgrove and @beckyferreira for kindly covering our work: 404media.co/dna-from-prehi… livescience.com/archaeology/an…

4/ We are much obliged to all our collaborators and young scientists for their amazing work. Young science workers deserve much better!

3/ Our results reveal female-centered practices in Çatalhöyük and the flexibility of cultural change dynamics in prehistory.

2/ The second is about the society of one of the world's oldest farming villages, Çatalhöyük: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

1/ In two articles published today, we used ancient genomes to better understand Neolithic Anatolian societies. The first study investigates Neolithization in the Aegean: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

4/ Genç araştırmacı arkadaşlarımıza ve beraber çalıştığımız bilim insanlarına çok teşekkür ediyoruz müthiş çalışmaları için. Genç bilim emekçileri çok daha iyisini hak ediyorlar!

3/ Sonuçlarımız Çatalhöyük'te kadın merkezli bir toplumsal yapıyı, ayrıca tarihöncesinde kültürel değişim dinamiklerinin ne kadar esnek olduğunu gösteriyor.

2/ İkincisinde ise dünyanın tarım köylerinden biri olan Çatalhöyük'ün toplumsal dinamiklerini antik DNA'yla ortaya çıkarıyoruz: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

1/ Bugün çıkan iki makalemizde antik genomları arkeolojik bilgiyle birleştirerek Neolitik Anadolu toplumlarını daha iyi tanımış olduk. İlki Ege Neolitikleşmesini anlatıyor: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

On yıldır pişmekte olan iki araştırma projesinin sonuçlarını bu akşam paylaşacağız - heyecanlıyız! *** Tonight sharing results of two research projects that we've been cooking for ten years - excited! @CompEvoMetu Bluesky: @compevohumang.bsky.social Instagram: @compevo_humang

What a day! Youre at a scientific conference and hear/ see an unecesary amount of destructive sampling being made in the nace of ancientDNA and then hear this golden words.. "my preference is not to know too much from the archaeologists"

congratulations!

@MustafaOzkan Anadolu'nun yerli kadim eşekleri olan hidruntilerin genomunu dizileyen @MustafaOzkan ve ekibine tebrikler!

Hear ye, hear ye! My first first-author paper is now published online in @molecology! In this work we report the first complete genome of extinct Equus hydruntinus a.k.a European wild ass. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

@CompEvoMetu @dilekopter ideas mixed faster than people :)

Our new preprint on Aegean Neolithization is out! Discover the manifold ways of how the Neolithic spread from the Fertile Crescent to Western Anatolia and then to Europe🌾📷🔬 @dilekopter biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@HAAM_community @gulsahhdal @ezgimou This approach could help partly mitigate the significant inequalities we face. In any case, thanks again for organizing this event and for your contributions to the community. I'll also try to be involved as much as I can in the future.

@HAAM_community @gulsahhdal @ezgimou Most original research, including aDNA and population genetics, is done in wealthy countries, which is problematic. While HAAM can't dismantle capitalism, it can promote research in lower-income countries by involving young scientists from the Global South in such activities.

What a nice meeting! Though wouldn't it have been nice if young researchers from W Asia had also been invited (e.g. @gulsahhdal, @ezgimou)?
