Only the cream of archaeologists in the study, but they’ll milk it for all it’s worth

"DNA extracted from thirteen individuals from burials from archaeological sites located in the Great Hungarian Plain"

Scientists are overgeneralizing quite a bit. 13 individuals in Hungary = all of early Europe. Especially given the variety in current Africa, with some tribes living next to each other, some are lactose intolerant and some are not, depending on the tribe.

At the end of the video is an interesting comment that soon we will be able to stick our finger in a machine and it will sequence our genome on the spot.

That would be a great way to end voter fraud.

“these peoples remained intolerant to lactose (natural sugar in the milk of mammals) for...4,000 years after the onset of cheese-making among Central European Neolithic farmers.”

Are they saying that lactose intolerant people continued to make cheese for 4,000 years after discovering that they couldn’t eat it?

[Vendome]

Europeans have now been proven to be intolerant, cusses...

Or cuds,,,,, erh puds....

I scream, you scream. We all scream when we eat ice cream.

Probably why cheese making developed... aged cheese has virtually no lactose. the same with longer cultured and strained yogurt. Most commercial yogurt is cultured for less than four hours... they add gelatin to thicken it. Culture that same yogurt in a traditional method at lower heat for 24 hours and drip off the whey and you have a lactose free version.

It was the invention of Wheaties that allowed man to enjoy milk and reading the back of the cereal box.

So.... people, being mammals, were unable to breast feed because they were lactose intolerant?

“our results also imply that the great changes in prehistoric technology including the adoption of farming, followed by the first use of the hard metals, bronze and then iron, were each associated with the substantial influx of ,new people. We can no longer believe these fundamental innovations were simply absorbed by existing populations in a sort of cultural osmosis.”

The implication of this is that the people with the new technology wiped out the older populations.
