We infer that lactase persistence/dairying coevolution began around 7,500
years ago between the central Balkans and central Europe, probably among
people of the Linearbandkeramik culture."


Oh my --- something the R1b...... did not bring to Europe! That description
above smells like haplogroup I folks in the middle Danube?

This inference will no doubt get lots of dispute from those who believe
lactase persistence was brought to Europe from the steppes or other more
easterly source.
