TL;DR: Temporally, it is demonstrated that bee products were exploited continuously, and probably extensively in some regions, at least from the seventh millennium cal bc, likely fulfilling a variety of technological and cultural functions.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors provided detailed distributions of milk exploitation across Europe over the past 9,000 years using around 7,000 pottery fat residues from more than 550 archaeological sites and proposed that lactase nonpersistent individuals consumed milk when it became available but, under conditions of famine and/or increased pathogen exposure, this was disadvantageous, driving LP selection in prehistoric Europe.

TL;DR: In this paper, stable isotope (carbon and nitrogen) analysis of human and faunal remains from the site of Aktopraklik, one of the earliest farming sites in the Eastern Marmara region of Northwest Anatolia, is presented.

TL;DR: Demogenomic modeling of high-quality ancient genomes reveals that the early farmers of Anatolia and Europe emerged from a multiphase mixing of a Southwest Asian population with a strongly bottlenecked western hunter-gatherer population after the last glacial maximum as mentioned in this paper .

TL;DR: Stable isotope analysis fromktopraklık shows that human diet comprised the consumption of select C3 terrestrial resources, with a preference for domestic animal proteins over plant proteins, and suggests that animal husbandry was at the forefront of Late Neolithic and Early Chalcolithic subsistence practices.
