Question 1 of 31👑 VIP
Read the following passage and answer the question. "The ancient city of Çatalhöyük in present-day Turkey challenges conventional assumptions about early human civilization. Occupied from approximately 7500 BCE to 5700 BCE, it housed up to 8,000 inhabitants at its peak — yet archaeologists have found no evidence of streets, formal public spaces, or a centralized governing structure. Residents entered their homes through rooftop openings and moved across the settlement by walking over neighboring rooftops. Burials of the deceased were conducted beneath the floors of homes, suggesting that bonds with ancestors were maintained in a deeply domestic, rather than civic, context." Which statement best identifies the central argument of this passage?
