A big part of it too is water quality. Raw milk isn't a picnic, but given the choice between raw milk and a water-source with fecal contamination, raw milk wins by a wide-margin. You'll notice the correlation between lactose-tolerance and alcohol-tolerance. If water kills you, milk is better, booze is best. Another way around this are teas. If you heat water until it is scalding hot before you drink it, that also kills off most of the baddies. Add in some plants with anti-microbial properties and you've got an even better chance at making it. Cultures with hot infused-beverages also like to drink booze (for recreational purposes) and milk (for nutritional/flavor) purposes but the selective pressure to drink them is absent. And if drinking milk is optional, finding ways to ferment it to make it more accessible (and, some cases such as kumis, more fun!) are technologies you can develop over time with no real rush.

Count Roland posted:The hypothetical effects were more nutrition and more offspring. This isn't just beneficial in comparison to another group, its beneficial to the group and to individuals within it (usually). Torrannor posted:The pointis that those who could drink milk drastically outperformed those who could only eat cheese and yogurt. It seems to have been a huge advantage. This doesn't get exactly into the argument I was making, because my theory depends on the actual effects of lactose intolerance in any given situation, rather than its evolutionary and historical heritage. Let's recap: you have a society dependent on cattle in its many forms. Meat and dairy are the main sources of energy. Half of the population is lactose tolerant, half lactose intolerant. Does it follow that the former will significantly outperform the latter? Now, the only real answer to that regard which the article offers was the potential of life-threatening diarrhea. I'll hazard to say that none of the other effects of lactose intolerance are life-threatening. Thus if the child can acquire the necessary amounts of nutrition to level the playing field, compared to their lactose tolerant compatriots, with just cheese and yogurt, it is not obvious that they're in a huge evolutionary disadvantage. As people pointed out before, kids in countries that are mostly lactose intolerant do consume plenty of milk. It is not debilitating condition. And thus it doesn't in any and every condition spread explosively, because even those with lactose intolerance can to a satisfying extent reap the benefits of dairy in their diet. Now, this is all w/r/t the percentages in Central Asia. Which could be wrong for all I know, or explained by something completely unrelated (high percentage of the population being of recently arrived East Asian stock, for example). I did make a point related to the article (I've read it before) above: that a cattle herding population which has been keener to adopt dairy in the diet because of their lactose tolerance could vastly outperform an agricultural population which hadn't adopted dairy. But in this case lactose tolerance is almost an artifact rather than the main cause for the evolutionary results. The difference is the nutrients in milk/dairy, and it just isn't true that those with lactose intolerance absolutely cannot acquire them. If you've read about the Rwandan genocide, you'll note that one of the main differences between the Hutu and Tutsi is that the Tutsi are traditional pastoralists, and as a result of that they're generally taller. Now bring up statistics on lactose tolerance in Rwanda and we've got some really good numbers. (This is a silly debate.)

Delicious! But not a selective pressure. You'll note, for example, that peoples who routinely add milk to their tea normally fall under skull types I, II(a). II(b) and III(a) routinely drink tea, but without any milk, though III(b) has a propensity towards drinking fermented milk products. Speaking of anthropometry/social phrenology, does anyone have any maps for that? I spent a while looking because I know I've seen some hilariously crazy maps the Nazis made based on skull-type distribution. It's a wonderfully crazy lens to examine history.

So, if I'm interpreting this right, they brainstormed a bunch of 'funny' things to google, then figured out which state googled each of those things the most. If a state had two of those things, they chose the funnier one. If a state ended up with none of them, they brainstormed more ideas until they found one that state ranked highest with. What'd be actually interesting is if they managed to find the search term with the largest "gap" between that state and all other states, but that would require analyzing every possible search term.

Raskolnikov38 posted:I dunno I can buy Oklahomans googling the poo poo out of Benghazi. It's just, imagine every single search term that Californians would google more frequently than any other state. There are a lot of them. Most of them are dumb boring local business things. State politics. "Weather tomorrow in San Diego" Did Estately find all of those things and analyze them to determine which one statistically most stood out for California relative to other states? No, they don't have the resources for that, and their method results in "meat is murder" which is more entertaining than directions to the nearest grocery store in the bay area, or whatever.

To be fair the most confused ones were probably the Ethiopians: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prester_John#Ethiopia posted:By the time the emperor Lebna Dengel and the Portuguese had established diplomatic contact with each other in 1520, Prester John was the name by which Europeans knew the Emperor of Ethiopia. The Ethiopians, though, had never called their emperor that. When ambassadors from Emperor Zara Yaqob attended the Council of Florence in 1441, they were confused when council prelates insisted on referring to their monarch as Prester John. They tried to explain that nowhere in Zara Yaqob's list of regnal names did that title occur. However, their admonitions did little to stop Europeans from calling the King of Ethiopia Prester John.

That there was an Immortal Patriarch King ruling over Ethiopia? ...Actually, that sounds like a fun CK2 game.
