I met Jon Marks in 2015, when I enrolled in the Masters program in anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I had just finished a Bachelors degree in anthropology and philosophy at East Carolina University, full of ideas but unsure where they might lead. I was lucky to have been mentored by Linda Wolfe at ECU, a biological anthropologist with sharp instincts and a habit of cutting straight to the point.

When I went to college, I knew one thing: I wanted to play tennis. Beyond that, I had no clue. I went to an open house at NKU, and during the welcome session they told everyone to go meet with their major. I didnt know if that meant I had to choose right then, but I assumed I did.

Farming After the Fire The Neolithic Revolution has long been framed as a triumph of human ingenuity—the dawn of agriculture, of domestic animals, of sedentary villages. But what if this turning point wasn’t planned at all? What if it began as an act of survival? Remains of a large Neolithic settlement on alluvial soil in the Motza Valley.
