The combination of 1) high latitude, 2) cloudy weather, 3) whole grain cereals as staples likely represented the unique combination of selective pressures responsible for the evolution of:

ALP: Ad libitum consumption of milk with GI distress protects against rickets by milk’s high calcium content1

Blond hair & blue eyes; extreme dermal depigmentation enhances dermal synthesis of vitamin D and further protects against rickets2

MILK & MALARIA ???

All milk diets suppress malarial infections in birds, rodents and primates by restricting para amino benzoic acid (PABA) intake 1,2

The suppression of malarial symptoms is abrogated when supplemental PABA is added to all milk diets or PABA deficient diets of infected animals 2,3

ALP & MALARIA

The pastoralist Fulani (>50 % ALP) exhibit resistance to malaria compared to other non-milk drinking African ethnic groups

Unexplained by genetic resistance factors, but rather by enhanced immunity

Displacement of PABA & Folate rich foods by milk may attenuate malaria infection while allowing immune exposure, thereby preventing serious symptoms & facilitate establishment of protective immunity
