You can tell the pig thing is an afterthought. There's now evidence that a single variety of pig found widely throughout Europe was domesticated NUMEROUS TIMES. The original type of domestic pig was in the Middle East, but it has been replaced by varieties from Europe.

Horses aren't on there so maybe the artist didn't realize that they are a MAJOR source of milk in any horse culture. I can purchase mare's milk cheese in over a dozen stores in this community.

Recent in depth studies regarding the modern spread of lactose tolerance among the Sa'ami indicate that it's not exactly the auto-somal recessive it was formerly believed to be.

A single allele is enough to confer the beneficial effect on a person provided the local environment has milk available. That increases the rate of spread to near lightspeed ~ half a dozen generations and EVERYBODY's got it.

They also talk about “Asians” not having the gene to digest milk. This is true of most south Asians, but most north Asians have lived on the stuff for millenia. Mongols and all that.
