Also re: data sets. They are comparing modern evidence (presumably of regular people but I have no idea) with the aforementioned spotty kinship data of the medieval period and just mashing it all up together and presenting that as a model.

Did no one see the problems inherent in that?

Also if someone could point out their primary sources/data sets to me in this, I would love that. Because I cannot for the love of me find them in the paper. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/366/6466/eaau5141 …

I can't even view the dataset but given what I know about demographic data of the period, it cannot be an accurate sample set.

In that I cannot view the data. I have the files etc. Basically I want to know where they got the data from. What sources? When? Very important.

Looking through their references, I see no references to medieval manuscripts. The scanty demographic data that does exist is across a vast array of genealogies, court documents, baptismal records, etc. I see none of that. If it's there, it does not seem obvious.
