Question: How was milk discovered? Did sombody just.. Experiment with a cow teet?

I don’t know for sure, but I’m guessing that people who reared cattle or other animals (maybe goats) would have seen that the young calves were suckling and growing big and strong, just as human babies do from human milk, and decided to try the milk of other animals too?

Like I say, not really sure, bit of a guess, but makes some kind of sense to me…
