Who's Got Milk? BD. We humans are mammals--homeotherms (warm blooded), Hair, and mammary glands, producing milk for offspring. The milk in mammals is for strong, early growth. No mammal consumes milk as an adult-- Oh, except some adult Homo sapiens! Humans, as always, attempt to 'outwit' the system. Northern Europeans, especially, 'Discovered' milk as an additional food source. The problem was adult lactose intolerance-- By attempting the imbibition of milk, Many became very ill or actually died! Those who remained, were the progenitors of our dairy industry today! Ah, once again, Nature, through evolution and its natural selection, Has manifested its strange outcomes, Which baffle the uneducated and ignorant non-thinkers. Frank Maurer 25 August 2024 1015 Hours.
