Some, but also partially as a result of Vikings as well.  The Vikings raped and pillaged all over the damn place.

Now they are after dozens of generations of breeding and movement.  Research the history of lactose tolerance and almost all sources point to 3-4 pockets where it spontaneously evolved as a result of environmental requirements.  The others are places like the Himalayas, places where certain times of year the only main food to be had was some type of milk.  One of the main sources is the Viking territories as well, the ones that spread all over the damn place planting seeds, which is why it developed so much earlier and more strongly in Europe than anyplace else on Earth.  Makes sense when you consider the racial breakdowns of lactose intolerance... it's something like half of blacks, 65% of hispanics, 90% asians, 25% whites, don't know about middle easterners.
