Milk ... Where does it come from?

Question

Have you ever wondered how we got milk? What made a person decide, "Hey I think I am gonna go over to that cow and pull on those things hanging down and drink whatever comes out.".... think about it

Answer 1

No, but I'm sure that someone had cows, and they wanted to take full advantage of what the cow can do, it's not like they hadn't known that the utters weren't used for nutrition for the calves.

Of course they probably found out that it is where the calves get their nutrition as they mature, and they figured to try it, for some odd reason.

Answer 2

I don't think about it because I am Lactose intolerant. It doesn't phase me at all. Kind of interesting though to think about the origins of milk.

Answer 3

well

scroll down

guys sucked on women's tittys and got milk and decided to do it on a cow

Answer 4

If you think that's odd, who decided to eat caviar?

Answer 5

Ummm, in nature, babies automatically know to go to their mommies for milk. So, someone probably saw this and then figured it out.

Answer 6

when cows eat they produce milk from their utters

Answer 7

It was probably a baby in need of food that sparked the idea of taking milk from an animal. After all, it would be obvious that milk came from, b*****s, teats, etc. I imagine the first choice was a goat, sheep or some other small mammal. Cows were probably a choice made over time  based on the the different flavors of the milk from various animals .

Answer 8

the story was an little boy was playing around the farm field and you know how kids are curious, well the rest is history

Answer 9

From cows, sheep, goats, humans etc mammals.

No, never wondered. The same thing that made a person decide, "hey i think i'm gonna go over to that tree and pluck one of those things hanging off it and have a taste. the birds/monkeys seem to like it..." or "hey, look! a mammoth, i wonder what that tastes like..."

Answer 10

The first ones obviously watched calves suckling. Easy really!!

Answer 11

way long ago before when adam and eve lived here god told them that the uters made milk. Besides we dont know how alot of things have happened. Like where we got the idea about picture frames, singing!!!, or anything like that. So its a mystery right now.

Answer 12

i'm going to go with...at one point a tribe slaughtered a cow and when they cut the breast, out came this white substance that resembled breast milk. so they started drinking it.

and since there were a ton of cows back (i think) it caught on.

wild guess here.
