A recent study 1 has provided new insights into the mysterious population collapse that occurred in Northern Europe over 5,000 years ago. This event, known as the Scandinavian "Neolithic decline," saw the abandonment of large settlements and the cessation of megalith construction. Traditionally, this decline was attributed to agricultural crises, but new genetic analysis suggests another culprit: an early form of plague.
