Thank you for the interesting article. My immediate thought is "Hungry people eat whatever they can find." is a pretty good answer to 'Why did neolithic people start to eat milk"? i don't mean to sound flippant This seems to me a strong possibility. The health advantage in this case being not dying.

Fascinating piece. I am very interested in small community famine and disease, especially the causes, and how these communities adapted. Obviously they didn't die off.
