Tolerance for lactose to the extent normally found in cows milk at least is something largely seen among Europeans. Particularly those whose heritage traces to the colder climates of Northern and Eastern Europe.
Ignorance of Genetics, even among Medical personnel, shouldn’t be overly surprising. Western Academics and Leaders generally don’t talk openly about it. As it starts getting into uncomfortable territory once you start acknowledging other genetic differences between racial and ethnic groups.
And for the most part. Western Ethics and Morals also have generally did ‘One race. The Human race’ for decades now. Which does its own part in getting people to refuse to acknowledge uncomfortable facts. Like there being fundamental genetic differences
Lived/worked on Navajo res...they cannot metabolize ethyl.alcohol efficiently.
Several.metabolic pathways differ, low/lack of certain ethanol breakdown enzymes and elimination of or build-up of acetaldehyde differ from those of European descent.
Coupled with a "sad" existence leading to abuse/escape causes alcoholism rates to be much higher in that population.
Yep...genetics differ among races. Hell, sickle cell is another example.
