Respected friend:
It's a linguistic drift problem, I suspect. In British
parlance 'dairying' means keeping and milking
lactating animals. Lots of Eurocentrics thought we
came up with that one on our own, decades after it had
been proven that the southeast Asian area had been
doing it _long_ before the evidence showed up in the
Fertile Crescent. This find proves areas closer to
Asia beat the Fertile Crescent into 'dairying' by
couple-five centuries, or more.

Yours in service to both the Societies of which I am a member-
