<span>Lactase persistence, the ability to digest the milk sugar lactose in adulthood, is highly associated with a T allele situated 13,910 bp upstream from the actual lactase gene in Europeans. The frequency of this allele rose rapidly in Europe after transition from hunter–gatherer to agriculturalist lifestyles and the introduction of milkable domestic species from Anatolia some 8000 years ago. Here we first introduce the archaeological and historic background of early farming life in Europe, then summarize what is known of the physiological and genetic mechanisms of lactase persistence. Finally, we compile the evidence for a co-evolutionary process between dairying culture and lactase persistence. We describe the different hypotheses on how this allele spread over Europe and the main evolutionary forces shaping this process. We also summarize three different computer simulation approaches, which offer a means of developing a coherent and integrated understanding of the process of spread of lactase persistence and dairying.</span>
I would tell the room mate that what i just heard was the resemblance between the Fayum catarrhines and the Miocene proconsulids in skull form and dentition which suggests an evolutionary relationship, even if the direct fossils evidence is not present. Primates are divided into two groups; the prosimians and anthropoids. Monkeys evolved from Prosimians during the Oligocene Epoch while Apes evolved from the Catarrhines in Africa during the Miocene Epoch. Apes are then divided into the lesser apes and the greater apes.
