#5   OK. Now explain how lactose intolerance fits in to this.

A kinda humorous answer here
tl;dr: short answer is tradition cattle husbandry patterns. If your ancestors didn't live someplace where they could raise cattle, they didn't drink milk and now you can't.

An interesting book on human migrations from a whole genome perspective is Who We Are And How We Got Here. The flow of human species across the planet is much more turbulent and chaotic than the traditional Out of Africa story would lead you to believe.
