You know what’s worse than not citing historians? Is citing historians and not actually considering what they wrote, and having a lack of engagement with the wider discourse. It means that you looked, stopped when you found what you thought you needed, and didn’t go further.
I don't actually know who that is. I am responding to the science article here. Not to whoever you are speaking about. I'm not familiar with every historian out there. But he wasn't cited in the paper either. Not sure what you are getting at here.

I looked up his publication. I've never come across it, but if they were basing their research off of his premise then I'm surprised it's not referenced at all. I haven't read the book, but being a historian does not make one right. I'd have to read the book though.

If Mitterauer, an historian, had a reasonable interpretation of European medieval history, then so do these authors. Their basic arguments re importance of kinship are the same.
