Women have tiddies we can suck on and we know milk comes from there. Seeing a calf nurse can have us assume we can get milk that way. A + B means we can get milk from bovine that way.
In mass quantities too
Yeah, but what would make him WANT that milk? It's not like any humans except babies had been drinking milk until then and cows, though adorable, are not the cleanest animals..
Because you are desperate and hungry and don't want to kill your cow. Milk is a great way to turn inedible grasses into protein.
People are a lot of things during famines. The ones who lived were the ones who happened to discover new foods.
Good point. That might be it
Or maybe he was just a big ol perv who lucked out 🤷😛
Wasn't this the nomadic people who did this with their goats or something? And before that's lactose tolerance wasn't that common. So most of them probably had stomach aches a lot until it became common over generations
Sorta like "Reality' TV?
Aside from hunger, humans weren't insanely concerned with dirt. If it was bad or rancid they'd stay away, but remember this was the time before washing hands.
Just don't go extrapolating too much...
