Having  more than the average information 
regarding various forms of milk, they  asked why monkeys or gorillas or 
other various primates have not been  utilized to create an alternative 
milk source as surely primate milk would  be closer in form to human 
milk.

ooooh, thank you for asking this! i am on pins and needles to hear the  
responses! i posted once a cpl yrs ago about some obscure reference i'd read  
somewhere i can't recall which stated that *rat* milk is closest in composition  to 
human milk !!  it's annoyed me no end ever since! ~ LOL ~ so  i'm very 
excited to hear if there might be more info on the subject now.
 
~jacqui gruttadauria, bsw in mich (who'd MUCH rather be making milk more  
like a monkey than a rat !)
