the more interesting thing is that average height decline through early modernity, which matches the fact that teeth were actually better in the early middle ages (in northern europe) than they were under Rome #medievalsky
and in the Mediterranean (Milan) it's very interesting that there's really very little variation in the average height between Rome and modernity
(men)
Rome - 168.7cm
medieval - 169.8
contemp - 168.7

There is virtually no evidence offered in the report for its sweeping conclusions about the entirety of the humanities.
People do this literally all the time. Does he think that a geographic location is the same thing as having an ethnicity or something? Why the fuck is this guy such a maladjusted freak?

The “medieval people were tiny” story doesn’t hold up. Skeletal evidence shows some early medieval Europeans were as tall as or taller than later populations. #History #Archaeology #Science

People in the Middle Ages were not uniformly shorter than people today, or even shorter than people in later centuries; the best skeletal evidence shows strong regional variation, with early medieval northern Europeans often as tall as or taller than many populations in the 1700s and 1800s. New Light on the “Dark Ages” The simple “medieval people were tiny” story does not fit the data from excavated skeletons or long-run reviews of European stature.
