Humans that comes or descend from Europe have a higher capability to digest dairy product because they started to consume such products in very ancient times.

Agree @Farmboy 1:36pm. Remarkable photo evidence that humans may have taken a “recent shift”:

- “This suggests a "recent shift" in the microbiota of industrialized humans, “… very sophisticated," Maixner told AFP. "something I did not expect at that time." ”beans, millet and barley are clearly visible”

ALL available in Japan yet, in very small amounts and, at exorbitantly expensive prices.

Looks to me like the shift isn't recent. Looks like it's 2,700 years old.

Zichi, no not stupid, it was a humorous comment in an otherwise serious and thoughtful interview, a witty way of expressing an environmentally conscious decision to change the fuel running his favourite car to a sustainably sourced fuel derived from waste wine and the whey from cheese making. Keeping the same car for over 50 years is also a very environmental beneficial thing as the embodied carbon in its production is a massive part of any cars total environmental footprint.

There was trade of this Hallstatt salt for those grains, legumes & beans, presumedly from as far as the Mediterranean cultures found in this 2700 year old poop. - Foundations of capitalism in the Bronze Age, blossoming from thriving agrarian economies, *just before it all went to site* for some unexplained reason?
