    Was it stubborness or necessity? There’s this myth of early humans being foolhardy or even stupid and just stuffing whatever they can find in their gob, but starvation was a real killer.

      I dunno, but there are still plenty of lactose intolerant people that insist on drinking milk and not taking any medicine…

      So, I’d guess a bit of both.

      I’ll just also add that getting sick because of the milk doesn’t alleviate any starvation.
