How "biologically recently" are you talking about ? In India, milk has been there since the first domestication of cattle 8000 years ago. Ancient Indian civilization was built on milk. Not only was it drunk regularly but it was also turned into ghee.

10,000 years. See top comment.

North Indian lactase was inherited from the Middle East. (I’m Northern Indian, in large part.)

That list _glaringly_ excludes butter. (Why ? That is so silly). Try adding it back and India will fall into top 5.
