b. False

Lactose intolerance is generally less common in Southern European populations compared to some other populations. While lactose intolerance can vary among individuals and populations, there is a historical association between certain Northern European populations and a higher prevalence of lactose tolerance, likely due to a longer history of dairy farming and consumption. However, it's important to note that lactose intolerance can occur in individuals from any ethnic or racial group.
