    Ten thousand years of “evolution” (wrong use of the word btw) versus hundreds of millions of years of actual evolution

      It would be more adequate to define it as “population adaptation” in the case of milk tolerance after the age of weaning.

        They also just straight up ignored the fact the majority of humans never adapted to milk. It’s something like 70% of the species that has lactose malabsorption lol

      I’m not sure but I do think that evolution played a big role here. Probably not for the reasons in the OP, but because it’s a way to convert grass into portable food with decent long-term storage (cheese). This is huge for migratory populations, but still helpful for sedentary ones due to winter.

    We evolve stupid detrimental shit all the time. Just loom at our spines, or our inability to produce our own vitamin C.
