Thank you S.B. for the clarification...due to a ramdom mutation then, my DNA
expericenced a favorable change.  I am lactose tolerant in a lactose producing
world..as obviously were my predecessors....

So if there was no pressure to adapt to milk, why would we? You are saying
it was an accident that lactase production stayed longer than usual???  A
flook...im actually a deformity and error in nature.....gee....I'm a freak
that can
drink milk.....I look forward to growing the tolerance to eat Haagan-Dazs
without getting fat,,,,any chance of that???????    8-)
