Europe had the Paleo and Neolithic Ages, but that's because they had migrants from the Levant/SW Anatolia who replaced the original inhabitants of Europe. This dileanation ushered in the Neolithic Era, which also was when agriculture was developed here.

• When the original Anatolian farmers who started migrating, they replaced the locals. So do we refer to the pre-farming Anatolian Farmers as being Paleolithic, or were they Neolithic since their stone tools were different and better than the Paleolithic people?
• Who did the Anatolian Farmers replace in Anatolia ?

Do we know anything about successful female lineages? Any help would be appreciated.

Iron is also stronger, but the melting temperature is a lot higher - like around 2800 C but for copper/tin it's around 1800 C.

However, it should have been easier to discover and use iron over bronze since iron is very plentiful and doesn't need to be alloyed. Moreover, why couldn't the ancients just use copper, instead of bronze (which is 90% copper and tin)?

COuld it be possible that bronze could have only developed where tin is found, since tin is a lot more rare than copper, and that bronze was developed/discovered in modern-day Afghanistan since that's where huge deposits of tin existed?

Hi! I have a question to anthropologists and scholars of religion who study the intersection of religion and colonialism.

I'm a POC raised Christian (a religion officially adopted and and integrated into the culture/nation of my parents due to colonization), but born and raised in the U.S. As I deconstruct, I'm increasingly aware of how "foreign" Christianity feels when compared to my ancestral heritage and its own distinct spiritual and cultural practices. What insights can your field offer on the psychological and cultural impact of a community adopting a religion that necessitates letting go of pre-existing cultural norms and beliefs?
