Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Patterns of social organization and gender differentiation in past societies are difficult to reconstruct from material culture data and are prone to modern interpretation biases. This Perspective uses ancient DNA evidence from three studies to evaluate patterns of post-marital residence (matrilocality vs. patrilocality) across broad geographic and temporal scales, and to reconsider preconceptions that continue to endure over time.
