Back then Turkey wasn't Turkish.

Have to go by more modern names, lest there
be no points of reference. Clearly "Turkish"
culture as we know it now did not exist in
that time and place - though much of the same
gene pool and deep cultural roots may.

We need more usable DNA from right near Gobekli Tepe.

In any case, the overt origins of 'civilization'
seem to be from THERE and then spread south.

But, WHY there ? What was so special about that
particular slice of the world ? Simply enough
population density, perhaps for the first time
ever, so "tribal" spilled-over into 'cooperative
efforts' ?
