Early Europeans unable to stomach milk

Interesting stuff - not sure how much I believe from 7000 year old DNA "evidence", but the theory seems to make sense overall. Interesting that Africa gets a brief mention - the Masai are among the finest herdsmen in the world, and milk is an integral part of the diet. But no mention of Central Asia, where mares milk is heavily used.

The first direct evidence that early Europeans were unable to digest milk has been found by scientists at UCL (University College London) and Mainz University.
