google THIS posted:I'm betting a lot of food discoveries were of the "last ditch effort to avoid starvation" variety molecular genetics shows this is pretty accurate. Like 99% of dutch people have lifetime lactose tolerance. They can tell the gene pool got heavily trimmed at some point in the region: sometime millenia ago the group of people that would become the dutch went through some kind of crisis that only those that could metabolize milk and draw nutrition from it survived, so adults that could metabolize milk got strongly selected for. In areas without a real dairy tradition, you don't see that kind of concentration. In fact more of the world is lactose intolerance than tolerant, which is why it's kind of weird that we call it 'lactose intolerance' like they're the messed up ones... |
