still puzzled why humans in Europe shrank from Upper Paleolithic to Mesolithic. Did diets change? Increase in population density (from increase in social complexity?) lead to malnutrition?https://twitter.com/Peter_Nimitz/status/1376058902169538562 …
There’s a great commenter at Eurogenes called Matt who once produced a table of predicted group heights based on polygenic scores. Icelanders ranked first among the living at 5’11”, WHGs were 6’0”, basically in accord with their remains.

But WHGs are the Mesolithic West Euro pop-- shortest in the table above. The Early UP Euros were the Aurignacians & Gravettians-- ie, "Goyet" and Vestonice" types. I believe a recent polygenic study from the Baltic also associated WHG variants with shorter, stockier body types
