Hi there -- this gets asked here fairly often. You may gain some insight from this post from u/RioAbajo, and might also consider cross-posting this to r/AskAnthropology. (The site is old enough to predate written history.) https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/3fnuis/does_göbekli_tepe_definitively_change_our/

Here are a couple of other threads on it, as well:
