comment How does Göbekli Tepe fit into the current picture of society development?
@spiceyokooko You're assuming that the switch from perfectly nomadic hunter-gatherers to perfectly sedentary farmers was instantaneous, without any intermediate stages. That's unrealistic.

They were not living next to a sea full of fish, but they were living in the Fertile Crescent, where wild cereals were plentiful. (These same cereals would later be domesticated as humankind's first crops.) Also, please elaborate what you mean by "pre-conceived notions of hunter-gatherers switching to agriculture".

Back then the site would have been part of the Fertile Crescent.

<facepalm> I hadn't noticed that. That would also explain why the afflicted girl is a random maidservant in one story and a relative in the next.
