Analysing Milk and Dairy Consumption in Ancient Societies: Bioarchaeological, Evolutionary and Human Social Perspectives

World
Background: In prehistoric societies, especially in the Neolithic period, the study of the palaeodiet assumes special importance as it is one of the points in human history characterised by important changes in diet.

A novel polymorphism associated with lactose tolerance in Africa: multiple causes for lactase persistence?

, 2007
Persistence or non-persistence of lactase expression into adult life is a polymorphic trait that has been attributed to a single nucleotide polymorphism (C-13910T) in an enhancer element 13.9 kb upstream of the lactase gene (LCT).

Lactase persistence versus lactose intolerance : Is there an intermediate phenotype?

, 2016
Background: According to the prevailing theory about the genetic background to lactose intolerance, there are three genotypes but only two adult physiological phenotypes: lactase persistence in individuals with the CT and TT genotypes and lactase non ...

Genotypic and Phenotypic Analysis of Lactase Persistence in Individuals

Lactase is an enzyme used to break down the sugar lactose found in dairy products. Lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose to enable the human body to digest it.

Lactase enhancer diversity and adaptation for the lactase persistence trait in East African pastoralists

, 2012
The persistence of lactase into adult life in some humans is a genetic trait that is considered to have been under strong directional positive selection, with the ongoing expression of lactase due to cis-acting mutations in an upstream enhancer region ...
