Humans are a product of natural selection … … and are adapted to their environment.

Milk contains milk sugar or lactose. Digestion of lactose in the small intestine requires galactosidase or lactase.

Lactose intolerance: results when the small intestince no longer produces lactase.

Percentage of people lactose intolerant.

That the HIF-mediated increase in hemoglobin concentration is a misdirected response to hypobaric hypoxia that originally evolved as a response to anemia. In anemia, reduced tissue oxygenation is caused by a curtailed oxygen transport capacity of the blood, and can therefore be rectified by increasing hemoglobin concentration. By contrast, in hypobaric hypoxia, the reduced tissue oxygenation has an external cause: The reduced oxygen tension of inspired air leads to a reduced oxygen saturation of arterial blood. Under these circumstances, a dramatically increased hemoglobin concentration may further impede oxygen delivery to metabolizing tissues. Science 2 July 2010, 329 p40.

Among women who inhabit the Bolivian Altiplano, which rises some 12,000 feet (7,300 m) above sea level, the uterine artery undergoes accelerated growth during pregnancy compared with the growth seen in women from low- lying regions – an adaptation that has evolved within the past 10,000 years.
