Regarding this last point... why couldn't primitive hunter/gatherers
have occasional access to milk? They're killing and eating large
mammals, and are apparently selecting the choicest portions, based in
part on fatty taste. Surely some (maybe even about half) of the mammals
killed were female, and some would have been carrying milk.
