What people are saying
The discussions reflect strong interest and agreement, as seen in posts mentioning genetic variants, population differences, and the evolutionary significance of lactase persistence, with language and tone emphasizing scientific support and ongoing relevance.
Most discussions recognize the scientific evidence supporting human evolution and lactase persistence, reflecting broad agreement with the publication's findings.
Discussions demonstrate high curiosity, with many posts referencing genetic evidence, population differences, and recent evolution, indicating active engagement.
Posts include references to specific studies, genetic mechanisms, and debates about dietary adaptations, showing a moderate depth of discussion.
The topic is presented as significant, with some posts emphasizing that lactase persistence is a clear example of ongoing human evolution, suggesting notable impact.
Abstract in brief
- Lactase persistence, the ability for adults to digest lactose, varies among human populations and is linked to the domestication of dairy animals and milk consumption.
- Five genetic variants are associated with this trait, acting differently in Eurasia (monogenic) compared to Africa (mostly polygenic).
- The reasons behind varying frequencies of lactase persistence in different populations, as well as its strong selection despite reduced lactose levels in processed milk, raise questions about additional factors influencing this genetic adaptation.

@HQ_NutriWord @jandro81 @oswilgeologo @isabel3harrison La capacidad de digerir la lactosa apareció aprox 5000 años en Europa. Unos proponen, como dices, que la vitamina D fue una de las ventajas que hizo que triunfase esta mutación, aunque pudo haber otros factores implicados. Te paso enlace https://t.co/TSnRWCz5pN
@wrongslot @whynowworld I can't say too much on the subject but I'd take the claim they were somehow a lot more violent than anyone else ever with a grain of salt. It also seems milk was in Europe before they existed but they did play a big role in its spread it seems; https://t.co/aB2TPoM85S

@One_That_Rules I won't push any more, but I'd like to ask something of you. Can you really say to me or to anyone that you know what biologists & other scientists point to as evidence for evolution, and why you reject it? Take lactase, for instance. https://t.co/EI2QDmJl8c

@Colm_Moloney @RuairiTraderIRL @Conor1960 https://t.co/69Cfrke0Co Northern European countries like Ireland have a predominance of lactase persistence, wherein the enzymes that enable humans to digest dairy persist into adulthood and aren’t jettisoned as they usually would be. We quite literally did evolve to drink milk.
