Absence of the lactase-persistence-associated allele in early Neolithic Europeans.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 6 Mar 2007

Burger J, Kirchner M, Bramanti B, Haak W, Thomas M G

Abstract excerpt

Lactase persistence (LP), the dominant Mendelian trait conferring the ability to digest the milk sugar lactose in adults, has risen to high frequency in central and northern Europeans in the last 20,000 years. This trait is likely to have conferred a selective advantage in individuals who consume...
