Archaeological records from between 7500 and 9000 years ago, suggest that colonies of people from Northern Africa and the Middle East began to domesticate and milk cattle. Later, these cows were brought to Europe, where the human population then began to domesticate their own cattle. Before the domestication of cows, the tolerance or intolerance to lactose did not provide an evolutionary advantage or disadvantage because it did not affect an individual’s ability to survive. As a result, it did not affect natural selection and had no bearing on evolution. Due to the shared cultural traits of milk consumption in adults and the domestication of animals in the aforementioned European and African cultures, this led to strong, positive selection
Eating animals is normal for any carnivore, but abuse to these animals is unacceptable. There are religions and traditions when it comes to eating and killing animals, usually to be viewed sacred and not like they are nothing. Humans have morals and traditions that separate barriers with farm animals and pets.
Hereditary examination is demonstrating that types of bovines in the Americas including the Texas Longhorn are relatives of dairy animals from India. India has the biggest populace of cows on the planet so this would bode well. They are trailed by Brazil, China, and the United States. The Indian breeds were transported to East Africa, then to Spain and in the long run to the Caribbean. This strange voyage of the Indian cow 's qualities is a direct reflection human
According to “Got Lactose?”, cultural behavior affects evolution. In this excerpt, it is shown that cultures that included lactose in their diets, such as European and East African cultures, are lactase persistent in adulthood. Other cultures, such as Asian cultures, that did not include lactose in their diets, did not continue to be lactase persistent in adulthood. This is shown in the example of what happens during a famine. During famine, when milk was a majority source of food, those who could not process lactose died off, leaving those who can process lactose to survive. So now, those there today have the mutation that allows them to process lacto
Abd El-Shaffy and G. A. Abd El-Rahman. El-Nor, Khalif and El-Shaffy are from the Dairy Science Department, National Research Centre, Dokki, Cairo, Egypt. Khattab and El-Sayed are from the Animal Production Department Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University, Shoubra Al-Kheimah, Cairo, Egypt. The last author El-Rahman is from the Animal Production Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Zagazig University. All that was just listed was the source of authority that these authors have in their country. These authors or professors are well-prepared to write about this topic because they talk about the whole experiment. They inform the reader about what was done in the experiment and what came out of the experiment. This article came from Revista Veterinaria. The intended readers are possibly Buffalo breeders to see what is the best way to feed the calf and what milk is the most nutritious. Also people that are interested in this topic can read this article as well. There
Dairy is actually the focus of a very heated debate in the paleo world. Some paleo experts will say a little dairy is okay, others will demand that dairy be avoided all-together. As for ancient humans, they never had the opportunity to debate about dairy. In paleolithic times, there were no domesticated animals.
Domestication of dogs was over and done, and signs point to domestication of Bottle Gourds a good 1,000 years before anything edible, but domestication of food crops started in the Fertile Cresent, also known as The Cradle of Mankind in 9,000 B.C.E. The Fertile Cresent is made up of the area around the Nile, Euphrates and Tigris rivers. Those rivers provide water, rare to find in the desert, and the water made the land fertile, great for farming.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) statistics records the use of roughly 26 million animals per year for animal testing. These test reports in many cases are poor. Although animals were greatly used in the past the effects of treatments on animals and humans can’t be compared. The human body, reactions to toxins, and usefulness of treatments is different because we are different, “While animal’s maybe ‘whole models,’ states Dr. Aysha Akhtar, MD,” they are the wrong whole model because of interspecies differences.” Testing animals for human treatments should not continue to be practiced.
Animal testing has been a controversial topic discussed by many people over the past decade. There are many organizations that are trying to ban the use of animal testing because of the cruelty us humans are doing to innocent animals and the pain and suffering these animals go through. The first organization I found when researching was PETA (People, Ethical, Treatment, Animals). From my research, this is the largest animal rights group founded so far. Their main office is in Norfolk, VA. They are not only fighting animal testing but animals for the use of food, clothing and entertainment. This organization has donated over a million dollars to find non-animal testing methods. Another organization I found was PCRM (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine).
A quote from an experimenter showed his view on animal testing “Because the animals are like us.” Experimenters were asked why it is ok to test animals the answer would be “Because the animals are not like us.”
Thesis: Humans are designed to drink human milk, not cow’s milk. Humans should really old drink milk during infancy and that’s because all of the hormones in cow’s milk can cause many health issues.
People can die due to store bought products being dangerous. With the help of animal testing these people can be saved. Animal testing is a series of experiments used to help save lives. Animal testing is used to find out if cosmetics, cleaners, and many other things are safe for human lives. If animal testing never happened more people would not be as safe. Because of animal testing many innocent lives have been saved. Animal testing is a very effective way to ensure product safety and should not be banned.
Each year, more than 100 million animals are killed in USA labs for biology lessons, medical training, and chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing.There are three main reasons why we should not continue animal testing. Animals have rights, animals will experience less pain, and scientists are becoming more desensitized every time they experiment with animals.
Throughout our lives we have been told that milk is good for our body and helps to toughen our bones. Drinking milk started when people domesticated animals for food, which happened around 7500 years ago in the central Balkans and central Europe. By that time consuming milk was not as common as it is today. It was only farmers in some specific regions that were using cow’s milk. Milk’s market grew the mass production of meat in the 15th century. Afterwards in the 17th century, the idea of eating out and going to restaurants was born and fast food industries, started using animal’s meat for producing their meals. The rate of milk users grew with the rate of meat users and milk’s market got bigger and bigger every day. Mothers
Willem-Alexander, King of The Netherlands, noted that his country worked diligently with sustainable development, a goal indispensable. The talk offers no solution to address the stressors of the environment. Unless the Dutch look closely at the harm of animal agriculture. Land use and water requirement for meat harms' nature. Cows compete for space and with no space to roam eat to gain extraordinary weight, milked, and slaughtered. Cows evolved to produce milk for calves and growth hormone to add extreme weight violates the laws of nature. Have the farmer use land that is enumerable with nature and good health. The Dutch can excel and respect nature and show an example of sustainable development placing nature first. The United Nations
Consumption of meat by humans creates several problems. First and foremost, raising animals for food compromises the environment. For example, it takes a large amount of natural resources to sustain the meat industry. The use of water, land, and food to raise animals for human consumption is not an efficient use of our limited resources. In contrast, it is more efficient to feed humans directly than to use land, food, and water to feed animals to be used as food. There are shortages of fertile land, clean water, and food in several third world countries. Many of these countries’ resources are allocated to produce feed for animals in developed countries around the world. As a result, the citizens of these countries are stricken with water and food shortages, while their crops are feeding cattle from across the globe. However, this problem can be solved by adopting a vegan diet. The vegan diet will allow a more efficient use of resources that in turn can be used to feed starving men, women, and children throughout the world. Consequently, more people in the world could be fed if the land used to grow feed for animals was used to grow food for humans.
