milkies, eggs, meat
One of these things isn’t like the othas
Did your ancestors eat tendies everyday though?
Ohhh if they were anything like me… they would have if they could… which they probably were… being my ancestors…
Ten thousand years of “evolution” (wrong use of the word btw) versus hundreds of millions of years of actual evolution
It would be more adequate to define it as “population adaptation” in the case of milk tolerance after the age of weaning.
I’m not sure but I do think that evolution played a big role here. Probably not for the reasons in the OP, but because it’s a way to convert grass into portable food with decent long-term storage (cheese). This is huge for migratory populations, but still helpful for sedentary ones due to winter.
We evolve stupid detrimental shit all the time. Just loom at our spines, or our inability to produce our own vitamin C.
