Part 3/9:
Among the first domesticated animals were goats and sheep, approximately 11,000 years ago. These animals offered a ready source of protein and were conducive to a nomadic lifestyle, given their herd behaviors. Their docile nature and ability to thrive in harsh terrains made them ideal companions for early humans. The domestication of these animals provided a stable food source and laid the groundwork for modern agriculture, allowing humans to produce milk and meat reliably.
