Humans began domesticating animals around 10,000 years ago, with cows emerging as the top choice due to their high milk production.

A genetic mutation allowed some populations to continue producing lactase, giving them a unique advantage. Meanwhile, coffee consumption reveals surprising statistics, with the Dutch leading the world in per capita intake, far ahead of Americans.
