Not being an economist, Muller completely ignored the 6 millenia of sea trade between the countries whose languages shared linguistic similarities.
Not being a sociologist, Muller also ignored male exogamy by sea-trading sailors and matrilocality of ancient India.

And if you think I made wild assumptions or don't have scientific papers I read validating this knowledge, you are incorrect 😂 because we are 100% a virgo in this regard

Sort of? Academic discussions of the nuclear family as something that's a dominant living arrangement in some cultures but not others mostly seem to be using "nuclear family" to mean neolocality rather than patrilocality or matrilocality.

Matrilocality and matrilinearity (land is inherited down the female line). But it’s so funny seeing paragraph after paragraph about male feelings of non-belonging and the power of women to advise and then one sentence about “of course, roles of political authority are considered to be men‘s domain…”

LMAO, anthropologists mistaking matrilocality for matriarchy yet again
So deeply ingrained that women leaving their households to join their husbands' is the default that they assume a society where men join their wife's is "matriarchal" despite men holding all political and religious power

It's a mistake to assume that matrilocality means matriarchy but it is unusual and this evidence does suggest some difference. Cornwell does emphasize that women could gain some authority through religious roles in pagan societies which is important www.theguardian.com/science/2025....

A new study suggest Matrilocality in IVSC region.
Matrilocality occurs when a married couple lives near the wife's parents. Daughters remain close, forming large family groups over generations.

Matrilocality is, I think, proposed by one study, but based on genetic evidence. But there's other indirect evidence, as far as I understand, not being an anthropologist.

The fact that there is evidence for matrilocality in Celtic Britain genuinely makes me so happy. Though the crouched burial patterns makes it bittersweet.

This practice, known as matrilocality, means family and social structures revolved around women — not men.

Oh yes, but interestingly, we've just had support for one fragment of them. Roman sources name not one, but two female British leaders - and we're now beginning to see evidence of matrilocality from genetic studies of British groups. Some very excited archaeologists here on Bluesky a few weeks back!

Matrilocality is not necessarily proof of matriarchy or even any kind of gender parity and the social and political lives of the Britons remain mysterious but the Roman sources do suggest unusual (to the Romans) prominence of women, and they do record figures like Boudica and Cartimandua
