did you know humans are supposed to be naturally lactose intolerant?

humans are supposed to be weened off of milk around the age of 4 when they are taken off of the breast. but we have adapted to become lactose tolerant past that age. if you go without eating or drinking dairy for an extended period of time you will revert back to being lactose intolerant.

European adults won't drink milk, they consider it for babies. we in this part of the world are kind of unique to being lactose tolerant. people from other parts of the world are naturally lactose intolerant. The Caucasian race came from a mountainous region where they had to rely on the milk from their cattle to survive. those that were lactose tolerant survived, those that weren't died. there by passing on the lactose tolerant gene.


all that coming from my biology teacher that i'm taking this semester
