Actually paleolithic people even ate nothing else than dairy for years.
Humans are mammals. Milk is the primary and principle food. The only one
we are really shure that it was eaten in the paleolithicum (as someone
else noted here).

We should say at least "not later in life".
Or concentrate on the differences between human milk and other mammals
milk (cow's).

Most people say that agricultural people *extended* their "adaption" to
milk to the adult life, because some (less westernized) cultures don't
do well with cow's milk. However these are not necessary less
agricultural cultures. China for example is a country with one of the
oldest agricultural traditions.
The difference in ability to digest cow's milk could be caused by
something else.

And the differences between cow's and human milk?
Human milk has much less protein.
What does that mean?
