Mongolians are not very lactose tolerant except by East Asian standards (88% intolerant) but they may derive a higher percentage of their total calories from dairy products than any other people on earth and have been doing so for a very long time: http://www.khovsgoldairyproject.org/news/mongolia/dairy-products/ …

One way to prove that this cluster of distinctive mental and physical qualities in NW Europeans are connected is by demonstrating that a similar suite of traits exists in other milk drinking populations around the world and Mongols are a perfect example.

Narmandakh is not a one-off exception; Mongolians have by far the best rote memories of any people on earth. Here’s a list of countries that produced the greatest number of recognized Memory Grand Masters:pic.twitter.com/6TInlC80Be

Mongolians dominate here because they bring together the autistic mental organization of NW Europeans with a superior 105 East Asian IQ, a combination whose effectiveness in memory competitions was recently demonstrated by the half-Japanese, half-German James Holzhauer.

It may not a coincidence that the Mongols are responsible for the greatest per capita military achievement in history.

The most spectacular military conquests of the last 2,000 years were accomplished by the Germanics, the Turks, the peninsular Arabs, Mongols, and NW Europeans; all ethnos who consumed substantially more dairy than the people they conquered.

My informal definition is that to get into this exclusive club you need to have a lactose tolerance rate of >75% and a dolicocephalic skull that seems to arise as a natural consequence. The French are 36% intolerant and have the most brachycephalic skulls in Western Europe.

Ok because the French iirc had the biggest swaths of land conquered by capita

I know what you mean, per capita probably not. France had the largest population in Europe until about the 1820's and in the Middle Ages their advantage was huge. In the early 14th century France had 20 million people as against about four in England.

Their fertility fell off a cliff after Napoleon for reasons that even today no one really understands. That's the one overriding factor explaining their relative national decline. Even though Germany and Britain sent millions of emigrants abroad they still outgrew France.
