Common symptoms include nausea, cramps, bloating, gas and diarrhea that begin about 30 minutes to two hours after eating or drinking foods containing the milk sugar lactose. "Also, the fact that these groups maintained small herds and kept them moving probably reduced the pathogen transmission rate."Īccording to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse, some 30 million to 50 million Americans are lactose intolerant, including up to 75 percent of African Americans and American Indians and 90 percent of Asian Americans. Their nomadism enabled them to find suitable forage for their cattle and to avoid extreme temperatures. All 13 of the populations that can digest dairy yet live in areas that are primarily lactose intolerant were historically migratory groups that moved seasonally, Sherman said. "The most likely explanation is nomadism," Sherman concluded.
They also found that lactose intolerance decreases with increasing latitude and increases with rising temperature, and especially with the difficulty in maintaining dairy herds safely and economically.Ī major challenge in interpreting the data, Sherman noted, was to resolve the puzzle that about 13 lactose-tolerant populations live side-by-side with lactose-intolerant populations in some parts of Africa and the Middle East. On average, Sherman and Bloom found that 61 percent of people studied were lactose intolerant, with a range of 2 percent in Denmark and 100 percent in Zambia. Their findings will be published in a forthcoming issue of Evolution and Human Behavior. Sherman and former Cornell undergraduate student Gabrielle Bloom '03, now a graduate student at the University of Chicago, compiled data on lactose intolerance (the inability to digest dairy products) from 270 indigenous African and Eurasian populations in 39 countries, from southern Africa to northern Greenland. People of northern European descent, however, tend to retain the ability to produce the enzyme and drink milk throughout life. But most people - about 60 percent and primarily those of Asian and African descent - stop producing lactase, the enzyme required to digest milk, as they mature. "This is a spectacular case of how cultural evolution - in this case, the domestication of cattle - has guided our biological evolution."Īlthough all mammalian infants drink their mothers' milk, humans are the only mammals that drink milk as adults. "The implication is that harsh climates and dangerous diseases negatively impact dairy herding and geographically restrict the availability of milk, and that humans have physiologically adapted to that," said evolutionary biologist Paul Sherman, a professor of neurobiology and behavior at Cornell.
