The discussions reflect high engagement through references to specific studies and archaeological findings, like pottery residues indicating ancient milk use, which show a keen interest in scientific evidence. The tone combines scientific references with personal opinions, illustrating the perceived importance of the research while questioning mainstream narratives at times.
AgreementModerate agreement
Most discussions agree on the interpretation of the article's findings, emphasizing the timing (~7500 years ago) for the emergence of lactase persistence in Europe.
InterestHigh interest
The discussions demonstrate high interest, with many users citing genetic studies and archaeological evidence about milk consumption origins.
EngagementModerate engagement
Participants actively reference literature, such as specific studies and archaeological residues, indicating a moderate level of deep engagement.
ImpactModerate impact
While some express skepticism about mainstream interpretations, most acknowledge the significance of the findings for understanding human evolution and cultural adaptation.
Abstract in brief
Lactase persistence (LP), the ability to digest lactose into adulthood, is common in European populations but rare elsewhere, and it likely evolved recently due to positive selection, especially in regions practicing dairying.
The study used computer simulations and genetic data to show that the LP allele first became prevalent around 7500 years ago among early farmers in Central Europe, possibly linked to the spread of Neolithic farming cultures.
Findings suggest that natural selection for LP was not driven by increased vitamin D needs at higher latitudes, supporting the idea of a gene-culture coevolution where dairying practices favored the development and spread of lactase persistence in Europe.

This study reveals specific genetic changes in Europeans that allow lactose digestion.

Ruhig mal die relevante Literatur zum Thema lesen!
@jjvelazs @AlpacaAurelius Well, aparently there is at least one study which found that milk consumption started in central Europe around 7500 years ago.

@HumourKim @fully_out 2/ Of course, anything that mainstream Archaeology says is true should be taken with a handful of salt.
Regarding lactose tolerance, I still stand by the 8000-year old mutation figure. This article suggests 7500-years ago.

@razibkhan Lactase persistence in European populations dates from about 7500 yrs ago - coinciding with introduction of dairy farming. https://t.co/lCvK2WTHGe
