Tip for reading list: How milk shaped human history
Milk! A 10,000-Year Food Fracas, by historian Mark Kurlansky, looks at the history of humans’ relationship with milk.
MOTHER’S MILK is known to be best, but it is the milk of other mammals that humans have cultivated for more than 10,000 years. The milk of domesticated animals was originally used as a source of products such as cheese or yoghurt, because humans could not digest lactose in those days — many still cannot — but as more and more humans evolved to become lactose-tolerant, they began to drink other mammals’ milk itself.
