+ why is your chocolate bar so tiny?
| | | | The Conversation Europe team have retreated to their respective nations for a rest. But before we return in early January, I wanted to send a selection of the stories you, our readers, most enjoyed in 2024. Scholars from across the continent have been sharing their expertise over the past 12 months and these are the findings that most resonated with our subscribers. 💶 From Germany and Spain, a pair of sociologists revealed what they found out when they interviewed some of the world's richest teenagers. 👵🏼 Our man in the UK reported that the world's oldest people are not quite what they seem – and that many of them are actually just dead. 📏 A team from the Netherlands helped us understand how their population came to be so tall. You're also clearly as unhappy as I am about the dwindling size of chocolate bars since so many of you clicked on this article about the miserable trend for 'shrinkflation' in our snacks. If you've not read these, you can find them below, along with a couple of our other most popular articles from this year. We'll be back with lots more soon. In the meantime, a happy new year to you, from everyone at The Conversation Europe. |  | Laura Hood Senior Politics Editor, London | |  Karen Lillie, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies; Claire Maxwell, University of Copenhagen Many of the Gen Zers who "don't fly commercial" want to stay close to home. | | |  Monica Grosso, EM Lyon Business School; Diletta Acuti, University of Bath; Marta Pizzetti, EM Lyon Business School Consumers would rather see the prices of their favourite products go up than have them resemble knockoffs. | |  Paul Ham, Sciences Po For nearly 500 years, priests and imams justified slavery on the basis of a misunderstood passage of the Bible. |  Saul Justin Newman, UCL Saul Newman's research suggests that we're completely mistaken about how long humans live for. | |  Kristina Thompson, Wageningen University; Björn Quanjer, Radboud University The average Dutch man is 9% taller today than 200 years ago, but today's Dutch children are shorter than their parents. | | | | |  Jill Boggs, Swansea University Reshaping your study habits with four essential techniques could reignite your progress and help you push past your current level. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
