Long-term trends in human body size track regional variation in subsistence transitions and growth acceleration linked to dairying [Texte]
Stock et al. (Ruff)
PNAS, 2023
Our results demonstrate that 1) decreases in stature preceded the origins of agriculture in some regions; 2) the Levant and China, regions of in situ domestication of species and an extended period of mixed foraging and agricultural subsistence, had stable stature and body mass over time; and 3) stature and body mass increases in Central and Northern Europe coincide with the timing of selective sweeps for lactase persistence, providing support for the “Lactase Growth Hypothesis.”

Ancient oral microbiomes support gradual Neolithic dietary shifts towards agriculture [Texte]
Quagliariello et al.
Nature Communications, 2022
A first distinction concerns PA samples, whose microbiomes seem to clearly differ from the subsequent Neolithic ones, from a taxonomic and functional point of view. The microbiomes of the analysed hunter-gatherer individuals are highly similar, despite belonging to a long chronological period that encompasses the last glacial maximum, and possibly a population replacement in the subsequent period36,37. This may be considered to be the reflection of a long-standing similar subsistence strategy based on a substantial degree of consumption of animal protein and fat, along with starchy carbohydrate foods, as suggested by combining the microremains and functional results here reported, with zooarchaeological data from Paglicci Cave38,39.

Reconciling organic residue analysis, faunal, archaeobotanical and historical
records: Diet and the medieval peasant at West Cotton, Raunds,
Northamptonshire [PDF]
Dunne et al.
Journal of archeological science, 2019
Lipid residue results from the pottery, mainly jars, identified the importance of ruminant carcass products and leafy vegetables, likely used to prepare the stews or potages known to be the mainstay of the medieval diet, and confirmed by the dominance of sheep and cattle in the faunal assemblage. Around one quarter of the vessels were used to process solely dairy products and some evidence of porcine product processing was found, although this may be under-represented at the site. In brief, this project provided a unique opportunity to address questions of diet and animal husbandry by medieval peasants and helped illustrate agricultural production and consumption in the middle ages.

Manger gras. Lard, saindoux, beurre et huile dans les traités de cuisine du Moyen Âge au XXe siècle [PDF]
Patrick Rambourg
In Trop gros ?, éditions Autrement, 2005
l’inexorable ascension du beurre, commencée à la Renaissance, s’interrompt dans les dernières décennies du XXe siècle. Il n’est ainsi plus considéré comme la graisse de référence de la cuisine française. C’est désormais un ingrédient que l’on consomme avec modération. On lui préfère dorénavant l’huile d’olive dont l’image est liée à celle d’une cuisine saine et légère, symbole d’un discours diététique et d’une alimentation méditerranéenne prônée par la médecine.
