Effects of ancestry, agriculture, and lactase persistence on the stature of prehistoric Europeans

2025-07-17

Abstract excerpt

Ancient DNA has revolutionized our understanding of human evolutionary history, but studies focusing solely on genetic variation tell an incomplete story by neglecting phenotypic outcomes. The relationships between genotype and phenotype can change over time, making it desirable to study them directly in ancient populations rather than present-day data. Here, we present a large-scale integration of ancient genomic...
