All we know on that issue is that he did not carry any of the currently known mutations that confer lactose tolerance. But as many of the lactose tolerance genes in humans probably have not been found yet, there is a good chance that he was lactose tolerant.Onur Dincerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041378853428912894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-1417665142299643632011-10-24T21:26:37.538+03:002011-10-24T21:26:37.538+03:00@pconroy I was just about to comment to that effec...@pconroy I was just about to comment to that effect, and also to complain that the whole thing is even worse if they're sitting on *several* high resolution samples of Central European ancient DNA.Jack Rusherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098219670031790168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-62478692662681581042011-10-24T20:49:16.311+03:002011-10-24T20:49:16.311+03:00Wow, "they are analyzing DNA preserved in ske...Wow, "they are analyzing DNA preserved in skeletons of other ancient inhabitants of Central Europe"<br /><br />Does this mean they will publish not one sequence, but a few??pconroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10312469574812832771noreply@blogger.com
