The paper integrates ancient genomic and phenotypic data to analyze stature in prehistoric Europeans, finding that lactase persistence alleles positively affect stature in ancient populations but not in modern ones.

The paper shows that hunter-gatherer continuity persisted in the Rhine-Meuse region longer than in continental Europe, with Bell Beaker groups later disrupting this pattern through mixture.

This study introduces a Y-chromosome capture assay (YMCA) to improve NRY coverage and haplogroup resolution, revealing new evidence for a two-path Neolithic expansion to Western Europe.
