▍原文 Scientists in China have discovered one of the oldest known matrilineal societies. The findings are the first genetic proof that such a society existed in Neolithic China. The site, named "Fujia", dates to around 2750 B.C. to 2500 B.C. After analyzing DNA from the bone samples, researchers found that all of those buried in the northern cemetery descended from the same woman for about 10 generations. Those buried in the southern cemetery shared a different maternal lineage. ▍語言點 1. matrilineal society 母系社會 · matrilineal adj. 母系的 2. genetic proof 基因層面的、遺傳學上的證據 3.
