The video was a fascinating watch, especially the part where it showed that lactase persistence evolved differently across various populations. It's incredible to think that something as simple as drinking milk could lead to a genetic adaptation. The explanation of the genetic research was clear and accessible, making the science behind lactase persistence really come alive. It's also quite intriguing to see how cultural practices like dairy farming have shaped our genetic makeup, highlighting the close relationship between our environment and biological evolution. Another standout moment was learning about the archeological evidence that linked the use of dairy in ancient pottery. The idea that we can trace back the origins of milk consumption through residues in old pots is just mind-blowing. It makes you appreciate the detective work scientists do to piece together our history. This video really underscored the notion that human evolution is as much about our cultural developments as it is about our biology. The gene-culture co-evolution concept is a reminder of how our advancements and adaptations are deeply intertwined.
This is so weird. I though there'd be more people who are lactose tolerant than intolerant. Which makes me the 1/3. Additionally I'm Asian and Asians are the race that are most lactose intolerant. About 90% Asian adults are lactose intolerant, which makes me the 10% who are not. I am so blessed I'm lactose tolerant because I LOVE dairy products.
I find it odd how rate lactose tolerance is in Asia. Central asian nomads, like the people of Mongolia, consume tons of dairy, as do South Asians, especially Indian people. I wonder if these are newer cultural practices, and that's why lactose tolerance hasn't become pore common?
Amazing video! I suspected that populations may be able to evolve the same trait through different variations of genetic mutation, but this example in lactase persistence shows that it is possible!
“If evolution is real, show us an example in modern day of evolutionary divergence in humans!” I love that there’s an easy answer in “lactose persistence.” Milk for the win.
On my strong paternal side of my D'Auria family on my long lineage, I have: Lactose-Intolerance as I only drink soy milk and almond milk---Not cow's milk and other dairy products. Remainder that I am the Second-Generation Italian-American as the Sephardic Jewish in a fact.
Then switch to plant based milk , like ones made from soy , almond, coconut , hemp , rice etc.., some of them do actually taste lighter and better than cow milk and don't cause the bloating and stuff 😎
i know cats really loves milk. my cat already died but during her adulthood i still give her a small amount of sterilized milk sometimes. i am aware that adult cat actually doesn't need milk so i see to it that she only get milk few times.
Hmm, I must be lactose intolerant, I can drink about a half cup per meal but even then that gives me gas, lol. Anything more than that makes me feel sick and passes right through me pretty quickly. Quickly drinking a liter? Forget it.
I watched this video in class but I decided to talk so I did not pay attention to any of it and I’m regretting it now because I have to rewatch the whole thing 😑
'(Genetic) mutation' is basically the one which takes place rarely, hence mutation population is inherently small Unless something in favor of owners happened in their surroundings, right? Why held in some, not becomjng dominant or eliminated, may require answering. This is very intriguing subject. The argument 'coincidence' in timing in this video demands more scrutiny. Changes in gene & social behavior should not necessarily occur at the same time as speculated here. More to be investigated & studied.
Curious to know what the allelic frequencies are in the world's largest producers and consumers of milk: folks in the indian sub-continent, where dairy trumps the consumption of the cow.
I'm lactose intolerant as I recently discovered with a test .All my life I was avoiding milk and yogurt because I could see how my body reacted when I consumed dairy products. I don't have the mutation after all.
When I was in Hong Kong, I drank milk on my daily basis and everything was fine. I am now in Canada, I release gas more often after I drink milk. Weird :/
milk sourced in Canada may not be from the same source as those in Hong Kong. The cows are genetically different and produce milk that differs in protein:fat content. Also lactase persistence is both genetically and phenotypically more complicated than we currently think,
For my opinion and since we all start our lives with drinking the milk off the breast of our mothers - lactose intolerance can also be something of wether you actually ARE genetically lactose intolerant or not. Since there are people being genetically "tolerant" but actually are intolerant it must also have to do - concerning the practice - with wether you keep drinking/eating milk-based products in your entire life or not.For whichever (religious/cultural/health) reasons. There is a point: If your body is no longer in need to produce lactase enzyma at all, you will lose it.
Great video! I see in India, only the west side has high levels of Lactase persistence. I wonder if the sacredness of the cow is only in the west, or if it is in the rest of India too.
Gregorio Grasselli I'm not sure about numbers of individuals sampled for this conclusion most Indians are lactase persistent which is odd considering people of West, Central , south east or east Asian are not lactase persistent.
It's in whole India except in parts of North East which is mostly tribal or Christian and some parts of south where in parts Muslim/Christians are majority.
I'm one of the most lactose tolerant people that I know. I can literally drink a full litre of milk at once without experiencing problems afterwards. Except getting fat, of course. ;p
You must’ve come from a culture that domesticated cattle thousands of years ago. I’m from Italian ancestry which has been drinking milk and making cheese for I don’t know how many generations.
Same! I love that as an adult I can eat and drink dairy. Ice cream is literally my fav thing! And according to ancestry I am like 99% Northern European.
I know it's not that serious or relevant in this context, but I hate it when people say Tanzania as Tan (like sun tan ) zania instead of Tan (pronounced Tahn) zania, that's not how you say it.
I’m going to show this to my anti-evolution friend. Let’s see if he can deny evolution happened, when I show him evidence of it. Thank you so much for this video.
Well, this isn't evolution on the scale that would impress your friend most likely. Technically, the gene for lactase production already exists in all humans, it's just a matter of if the gene expression stays on or not. That kind of thing can happen with lots of stuff, such as how certain animal fur changes color based on temperature, and that's not the body developing something new that didn't already exist. Good luck.
@@someguyusa I partly agree with you, but evolution is defined as change in the heritable characteristics, passed on to future generations. So this does count as an evolutionary change, but not the strawman version that he will likely be looking for.

Lactose tolerance in India is ~50%, more than in Southern Europe.
ok
Ikr I don't know one person who's lactose intolerant and I knew a lot of people have it but 2/3?!
AYE same!
who got the answers to the quiz guys
What a great video! Thank you!. This makes studying for finals much more interactive and productive.

Amazing video! I suspected that populations may be able to evolve the same trait through different variations of genetic mutation, but this example in lactase persistence shows that it is possible!
I think some fruits, berries and seeds “want” to be eaten to aid in their dispersal and germination.
I read some comments about their bio classes, lmao I came here because i'm lactose intolerant and i want to know more behind it.. ❤😂
I feel sad bc i was just one letter off from not having tummy aches from my favourite foods ;3;
that cat is the bomb
Pov:your supposed to be watching the video for bio but your looking at the comments
I'm so happy I have this mutation. Cause eating ice cream, desserts with cream, sweets with no consequence of bowl problems is awesome
what type of natural selection would this be? Example: stabilizing, disruptive, directional?
S/O to all my Fresno State peeps watching this for Bio 10 😤
yessss
ayoooo
Came here for class but that was very, very interesting. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Glad to hear it!
“If evolution is real, show us an example in modern day of evolutionary divergence in humans!”

The symptoms are terrible nausea, extreme stomach cramps, diarrhea, extreme gas benadryl helps the diarrhea and cramps

I was lactose persistent until 57. I have some Ashkanazi genes.... I wonder if this means I have another mutation....

Have an question: how lactose tolerance is an example of natural selection in humans?
You should definitely watch the video, because your question is explained within it.
not if there is lacto free milk lol

You can have lactase infused dairy.
And lactase tablets are easily available too.
When I was in Hong Kong, I drank milk on my daily basis and everything was fine. I am now in Canada, I release gas more often after I drink milk. Weird :/
Mad fujoshi The milk you drank could have been lactose free milk which even lactose intolerant people can easily drink
