I mean, it’s very hard for us to put in the labour to produce a piece of work refuting and responding to this. Perhaps someone is, but there is plenty out there regarding consanguinity in medieval Europe.

yes, when there's a whole field of scholarship that a piece doesn't engage with, it should be enough for experts to point out that the foundations of the piece are built on air

Except we're not just saying, this experience is wrong because it runs counter to mine. It's that it literally does not acknowledge the work done here. I will now direct you to some sources and a few points I made here:https://twitter.com/AdmiralHip/status/1192869222759763968 …

Dr C. M. Bromstick 🧹, Dublin @AdmiralHipSince several scientists can't just take the word of however many medievalists (not just historians either) have said this is bad scholarship, and why, here are some sources. Because I'm feeling generous. https://twitter.com/prof_gabriele/status/1192655774029406209 …Show this thread0 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

Honestly, the further I've read the paper itself, the worse it is. It's Eurocentric, it does in fact cite historians but poorly and not extensively, it does not engage in the vast scholarly debates on the matter, and it's data sets cannot be accurate b/c we have very little data.

It isn't potentially fatal. It is fatal. The premise is just unsubstantiated. Plus their historical data mentioned in the text regarding kinship structures flattens the entire period and assumes homogeneity.

Well then they can read my twitter thread. The scholarship out there is vast. A very quick google proves that. Simply because, well, the topic is complex, debatable, vast, changes over time, and we have little on-the-ground evidence as is.

Which is ultimately why this whole thing is flawed at its base. It cannot account for the entirely of the medieval period, and ignores a lot of stuff.
