The Evolution of Lactose Tolerance — HHMI BioInteractive Video

so all the bio classes watching this huh?

Who's here from your virtual bio class?

I wonder how the cats back feels carrying the whole video 😔🤚

Damn is every bio class watching this?

2:33 Cat: wtf bro :(

Hey, you in your biology class.... stop scrolling through the comments and watch the video

The fact that I’ve had to watch this for 2 separate bio classes

Cells be like o 0 8 oo

The world needs more people who are passionate about obtaining knowledge about these things. Intellectual rock stars :)

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.. ❤😂

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.

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!

What a great video! Thank you!. This makes studying for finals much more interactive and productive.

that cat is the bomb

I'm so happy I have this mutation. Cause eating ice cream, desserts with cream, sweets with no consequence of bowl problems is awesome

I think some fruits, berries and seeds “want” to be eaten to aid in their dispersal and germination.

who got the answers to the quiz guys

Well done and well directed video. Thank you!

Pov:your supposed to be watching the video for bio but your looking at the comments

Loved the information and great story telling at the same time.
