Sounds like many tweeters have not taken the time to look at the actual paper. We do use Medieval data, and in fact, compiled multiple new datasets from existing sources. All of our datasets can be traced to the original sources.https://twitter.com/AdmiralHip/status/1193916378245484545 …

Sir, I read your article about 5 times now. No where do I see an indication of an engagement with medieval sources, or a proper engagement with the secondary literature. I should point out, again, that the medieval data is sparse and absent for many places, across time.

I see some old papers and refuted monographs in your reference list. I also see that you do not acknowledge several areas that were under the influence of the Church within the periods you selected.

So tell me in plain text: what medieval sources did you use? Don’t direct me to look at the data sets, I cannot see where any of the medieval data is represented there. I want to know: manuscripts, texts, places. Why there is no accounting for cousin marriages post 1500

That data is not representative of demographics in the medieval period, nor can it attest to people adhering to Church law. May I ask why places like Ethiopia and Syria were not shown to have been under the influence of the Church when they were?

Those are legitimate points to raise, but the original claim was "They didn’t use medieval sources", which seems to be clearly false.
