Indiana has horses, Fur Shur, because the big horse racing farms and even bigger "pharms" like Eli Lilly, et al, find it a good place to contract tp breed and raise horses.
What we have around here are about 25,000 Afghans, and they PREFER mare's milk ~ so we get mare's milk products from Bulgaria, which is presently the world's leading mare's milk feta cheese manufacturer. The stores catering to Afghan and Arab people here all sell canned mare's milk.

Teats a mystery.
I love science.
The whole anti-milk campaign is and has been anti-intellectual; the example that springs to mind is [unnamed idiot actress, busybody, and public scold] who parrots the claim that only humans drink the milk of other species — as if that is some kind of decisive argument (and is if she’s never seen a cat on a dairy farm, or anywhere else for that matter, enjoy cow’s milk). Humans are — like every thing that isn’t a plant — opportunistic feeders. And it isn’t a crime. Attempts to criminalize my eating habits will result in a lot of people not having anything at all to say about my eating habits. [and then ‘Civ cools down with a tall glass of milk]

IN the mad dash to politicize history they overlooked Chauvet and other neolithic sites...
So what would the low levels of lactose tolerance in north africa and the middle east mean?
People with lactose intolerance make do with fermented products that contain lactase ~ kimchi, saurkraut, yoghurt, and so on.
Eventually the old boys got a hankering for those early Rhine maidens who had something like 500 genes modified to allow for persistent lactose tolerance, and the rest is history ~ ARAB WOMEN WITH STREAKED HAIR!
That’s rather interesting. So lactose tolerance seems to be a “use it or lose it” type of thing? Kinda like civilization and now the Constitution.
