Radiocarbon dates and Bayesian modeling support maritime diffusion model for megaliths in Europe.

abstract：:Identifying causal effects in nonexperimental data is an enduring challenge. One proposed solution that recently gained popularity is the idea to use genes as instrumental variables [i.e., Mendelian randomization (MR)]. However, this approach is problematic because many variables of interest are genetically correlated...
