Milk consumption in Europe was not fully establihed among the first peasant populations

  • Milk.

Milk consumption in Europe 7,000 years ago was very uneven among the first peasant populations.

This is confirmed in a study published today in the journal Nature  Communications and whose signatures include a researcher from the IPHES and the URV, Xosé-Pedro Rodríguez.

An international research team, led by researcher Miriam Cubas (York University-University of Oviedo), has managed to recover residues from culinary activities in the vessels used by prehistoric societies from 7,500-5,500 years ago. The results have been published in the journal Nature Communications and among the signatories is Xosé-Pedro Rodríguez, a researcher at the Catalan Institute of Human Paleoecology and Social Evolution (IPHES) and the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV).
