Supporting citation for public claim

The listed Çatalhöyük ancient-DNA study supports predominantly maternal within-building genetic links; it does not establish political matriarchy or sex-biased mobility.

Answer / theory: Not proven. Some evidence may support gender balance or female-line household continuity, but matriarchy is a stronger claim. What supports it: Figurines, social balance interpretations, recent DNA/kinship evidence. What is weak or disputed: Female lineage does not mean female rule. Evidence level: Plausible but Unproven.
