A drink of milk was off the menu for Europeans until only a few thousand 
years ago, say researchers from London.
Analysis of Neolithic remains, in Proceedings of the National Academy of

University College London scientists say that the rapid spread of a gene 
which lets us reap the benefits of milk shows evolution in action.
