Who built Europe's first cities? Clues about the urban revolution emerge
Briefly

Archaeologists have found that the Cucuteni-Trypillia settlements might represent some of the earliest examples of large, complex, egalitarian societies in European history.
This culture challenges prior notions regarding urban development, showing that large communities can exist without the formation of social hierarchies, contrary to what was seen in ancient Mesopotamia.
The discovery of the Cucuteni-Trypillia culture has reignited interest in an underexplored chapter of history that predates the rise of notable classical civilizations.
Through advanced imaging and dating techniques, researchers are piecing together the social fabric and daily lives of people in these pre-Bronze Age communities.
