Humans were drinking milk before they could digest it

Our history with milk presents a chicken-or-egg conundrum: Humans couldn’t digest the beverage before they evolved mutations that helped them do so, yet they had to already be consuming milk to change their DNA. “There’s always been the question of which came first,” says University of Pennsylvania geneticist Sarah Tishkoff. “The cultural practice or the mutation.”

Now, scientists have found the oldest evidence yet for dairy drinking: People in modern Kenya and Sudan were ingesting milk products beginning at least 6000 years ago. That’s before humans evolved the “milk gene,” suggesting we were drinking the liquid before we had the genetic tools to properly digest it.

All humans can digest milk in infancy. But the ability to do so as an adult developed fairly recently, likely in the past 6000 years. A handful of mutations allows adults to produce the enzyme lactase, which can break down the milk sugar lactose. Genes that enable what’s called lactase persistence are widespread in modern Africa, which has four known lactase persistence mutations. (European populations rely on just one.) Read more.

“The research also shows dairying in Africa goes back just as far as it does in Europe—perhaps longer. That undercuts a myth, propagated by white supremacists, that lactase persistence and milk drinking are somehow associated with white Europeans. “

Being lactose intolerant and eating dairy anyway is a tradition going back millennia is how I’m going to justify my decisions from now on

i’m sorry but what weirdo looked at a cow and said i wanna drink that AND THEN KEPT DOING IT even though they probably got very sick?

The ones who had no other food, but were keeping the animal as a beast of burden, or possibly giving the milk to a newborn human, since the mother’s milk might have failed, and drank what their child didn’t consume. And it kept them alive.

something that i’ve never seen anyone suggest or discuss is butter and ghee.

butter has a lot less lactose in it than plain milk–sometimes as little as 1% lactose protein– and ghee has even less. but a tablespoon of butter can have as much as 100 calories of fat. and humans need fat to digest other food, so we cook with it as much as possible. for herdsmen and subsistence farmers, getting enough plant and animal fat would have been a constant struggle.

my theory is that early lactose intolerant humans didn’t drink milk right out of their cows, they would have been making butter and ghee, and feeding the milkfat remainder to their unweaned babies as a supplement. with the butter, the adults could then have fried/simmered fairly low-calorie, hard to digest foods like roots and shoots and lean meat in the butter, and almost immediately they would have had a much more nutritious and hearty meal. even adding butter to soups and porridge improves them immediately.
