The dispersals of established food-producing populations.
TL;DR: A multidisciplinary approach is taken in which perspectives from different disciplines (especially archaeology and comparative linguistics in this instance) are used for what L. Fogelin recently called “inference to the best explanation.”
Journal ArticleDOI
Synchronous Environmental and Cultural Change in the Emergence of Agricultural Economies 10,000 Years Ago in the Levant
TL;DR: It is shown that the hitherto apparent long-term continuity interpreted as the origins and consolidation of agricultural systems was not linear and uninterrupted, and a new environmental-cultural scenario needs to be incorporated in the models reconstructing both the establishment of agricultural economy in southwestern Asia and the impact of environmental changes on human populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The authors draw on extensive, multidisciplinary research focused through a lens of early (archaic) state-making to render a partial and provisional genealogy of sex, starting with early human social formations and the "agricultural revolution" that marked a shift from food gathering to food producing.
