Patrissimo's theory about yiffing leading to dairy farming is in Scientific American!
Remember how patrissimo and I discussed how yiffing furries could have lead to the formation of the dairy industry? Well, it's in Scientific American!

From the article:
"Of course, there are other (less probable) ideas still being milked: Thomas points out one example-that tolerance evolved as "prestige" via "Neolithic drinking games": men battling it out to drink a quantity of milk without getting sick. "Like football players, maybe they screamed at each other while downing one," Thomas says. "Then some guy comes along, doesn't get sick, and everyone thinks he's cool." One has to wonder, did the macho milk drinker then rub it in his opponents' faces by chanting, "Got milk?""

Furries may have been responsible for lactose tolerance! Imagine that a neolithic farmer happens to be a furry with a fetish for cows. He carefully sews himself a bull fursuit, puts it on, and begins courting the more attractive bovine members of his herd. He falls in love with one of his lady cattle, and (as tends to happen with mammals in love), some erotic snuggling takes place. One evening, while the furry farmer is erotically licking at his cow-bride's nipples, he gets a mouthful of cream. With a little experimentation, he learns how to milk her as a form of foreplay. His friends and neighbors are enchanted by how much in love he and his cow-wife are, and decide to also have sexy fun with the herd. Interspecies mating becomes a village tradition, so when one person has a random mutation making them lactose-tolerant, the social behavior of milk-drinking is there to allow them to take advantage of it. If that person also occasionally mated with human females as well as quadrupeds, the mutation would spread. It's about as plausible as people going to the trouble of squeezing cow parts and drinking the stuff that came out as a competitive game.
