520    "After drawing its first breath, every newborn mammal 
       turns his or her complete attention to obtaining milk. 
       This primal act was once thought to stem from a basic fact
       : milk provides the initial source of calories and 
       nutrients for all mammalian young. But it turns out that 
       milk is a much more complicated biochemical cocktail and 
       provides benefits beyond nutrition. In this fascinating 
       book, biologists Michael L. Power and Jay Schulkin reveal 
       this liquid's evolutionary history and show how its 
       ingredients have changed over many millions of years to 
       become a potent elixir. Power and Schulkin walk readers 
       through the early origins of the mammary gland and 
       describe the incredible diversification of milk among the 
       various mammalian lineages. After revealing the roots of 
       lactation, the authors describe the substances that 
       naturally occur in milk and discuss their biological 
       functions. They reveal that mothers pass along numerous 
       biochemical signals to their babies through milk. The 
       authors explain how milk boosts an infant's immune system,
       affects an infant's metabolism and physiology, and helps 
       inoculate and feed the baby's gut microbiome. Throughout 
       the book, the authors weave in stories from studies of 
       other species, explaining how comparative research sheds 
       light on human lactation. The authors then turn their 
       attention to the fascinating topic of cross-species milk 
       consumption--something only practiced by certain humans 
       who evolved an ability to retain lactase synthesis into 
       adulthood. The first book to discuss milk from a 
       comparative and evolutionary perspective, Power and 
       Schulkin's masterpiece reveals the rich biological story 
       of the common thread that connects all mammals"--

520    "After drawing its first breath every newborn mammal turns
       his or her complete attention to obtaining milk. This 
       simple act was once thought to stem from a basic fact - 
       milk provides the initial source of calories and nutrients
       for all mammalian young. That truth, however, is only a 
       piece of the story. Milk, it turns out, is an extremely 
       complex biochemical cocktail. The authors of this 
       fascinating book, biologists Michael L. Power and Jay 
       Schulkin, reveal milk's ancient history and show how the 
       ingredients of mother's milk have evolved over many 
       mammalian generations. Power and Schulkin walk us through 
       the evolutionary origins of the mammary gland and describe
       the incredible diversification of milk among the various 
       mammalian lineages, culminating in a discussion of the 
       history of humans and milk. Once the roots of lactation 
       are revealed, the authors describe the long list of 
       substances that naturally occur in milk. They discuss all 
       of the biological functions of milk - functions that reach
       far beyond being a baby's first food. Mothers, it turn out,
       pass along numerous biochemical signals to their babies 
       through milk. The authors describe how milk boosts an 
       infant's immune system, affects an infant's metabolism and
       physiology, and even helps inoculate and feed the baby's 
       gut microbiome. Throughout the book the authors weave in
