Although past human health cannot be assessed directly, adult stature variation and skeletal indicators of nonspecific stress can serve as proxies for health during growth and development. By integrating paleogenomic...Marciniak, Stephanie ; Bergey, Christina M ; Silva, Ana Maria ; Hałuszko, Agata ; Furmanek, Mirosław …
