    No, there is, you get more from your cattle, and on a individual level, less likely to starve.

    Keeping Lactase happened at least twice; north europe and a group in west africa.

      Sure, if you a) keep mammals around and b) drink their milk. I’m not convinced domesticated animals have been a thing for all that long, evolutionarily. Long enough for some groups to have adapted, sure. We have adaptations for cooked food, too.

      [Searches] Cattle probably around 10k years ago.

      Saudi Arabia too. I assume that camel milk came in pretty handy in early tribes surviving the deserts.
