Was it stubborness or necessity? There's this myth of early humans being foolhardy or even stupid and just stuffing whatever they can find in their gob, but starvation was a real killer.
I dunno, but there are still plenty of lactose intolerant people that insist on drinking milk and not taking any medicine...
So, I'd guess a bit of both.
I'll just also add that getting sick because of the milk doesn't alleviate any starvation.
I have a friend who does that. He insists that ice cream is worth it if we're out gallivanting. The rest of the car does not agree.
Maybe you should gift them lactase enzymes...
