History
Animals were domesticated by humans in the Neolithic period, between 9000 and 7000 BC. Milk has been consumed since those ancient times. However, as humans were no longer able to tolerate lactose, they began to consume fermented milk. This quickly became a universal source of sustenance; in many civilizations, milk took on the role of meat consumption. As milk was said to have been brought to earth by the creator of the universe, it also began to be used in religious traditions. Over time, the distribution of industrial milk led to a change in consumer tastes, and the availability of milk substitutes all contributed to a decline in milk consumption.
