However there is shit out there that keeps me amused and pondering on peoples decision making.
For example , what was the person who discovered milk actually doing ?
Anyone else kept awake with random questions? | |||

Thank you for the brain worm OP
English and Northern European farmers may have been the first or among the first to begin drinking cow’s milk 8,000 to 10,000 years ago. Scientists say that early Europeans — and other early milk-drinkers — were lactose intolerant. It was only later that humans slowly achieved the ability to digest milk through a genetic mutation, “lactase persistence.” This is the continued activity of the enzyme lactase throughout adulthood. The mutation occurred about 7,500 years ago, between 5000–4000 B.C. It’s likely that before the genetic mutation — even as the farmers depended on milk for nourishment — if they were drinking it, they were still suffering through lactose intolerance. It took years for the genetic mutation to occur, but I daresay intolerance is better than starving. | |||

" Could be anything. Volcanic activity, hot springs. Early versions of "campfire" with stones around getting warm. As I say, very likely coincidence and accidental type of discovery with very little brain power involved until after the discovery of "this tastes good!". There may even be a case of vegetables were cooked in boiling water before cooked meat was discovered. | |||

"The biggest unanswered question I have is why do we never learn? from history? This is interesting because today I reread one of my favourite James Baldwin essays and in it is one of my favourite Baldwin quotes about history living *within* us! In what way?" The quote is this, had to find it online because can’t be arsed to type it from the book 
“History, as nearly no one seems to know, is not merely something to be read. And it does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past. On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do. It could scarcely be otherwise, since it is to history that we owe our frames of reference, our identities, and our aspirations.“ | |||

English and Northern European farmers may have been the first or among the first to begin drinking cow’s milk 8,000 to 10,000 years ago. Scientists say that early Europeans — and other early milk-drinkers — were lactose intolerant. It was only later that humans slowly achieved the ability to digest milk through a genetic mutation, “lactase persistence.” This is the continued activity of the enzyme lactase throughout adulthood. The mutation occurred about 7,500 years ago, between 5000–4000 B.C. It’s likely that before the genetic mutation — even as the farmers depended on milk for nourishment — if they were drinking it, they were still suffering through lactose intolerance. It took years for the genetic mutation to occur, but I daresay intolerance is better than starving."I’m not sure how much of that is speculation but we do know for a fact that farming was invented around 9000 years ago and our shift from wide variety of seasonal foods and grazing to high grain year round diet and increased meat bought all the diseases and illnesses we now have. | |||
