Answers:
According to the folklore, the first person to discover that you can drink cows milk was not a "thirsty person" rather an inquisitive person.

Noticing the calves enjoying the milk and growing upto be healthy animals, he decided to risk it all. And risk... he did.

The first method employed to get the milk was to suck on cow's nipples. However much you wish his face was kicked, had not happened, but the taste of the nipples itself was so disgusting, that he let the idea go. Though, only until, his friends started teasing him.

Thats when he came up with the idea to use his hands to milk the cow.

Sandandrocks a Yahoo persons' answer!

your question is not clear, can't help.

Our ancestors who invented farming decided that it tasted good, and it was an easily obtained source of nutrition. And since so many people liked it, they continued the tradition.

milk is healthy retard

what

according to http://www.foodsci.uoguelph.ca/dairyedu/...

"Milk is as ancient as mankind itself, as it is the substance created to feed the mammalian infant. All species of mammals, from man to whales, produce milk for this purpose. Many centuries ago, perhaps as early as 6000-8000 BC, ancient man learned to domesticate species of animals for the provision of milk to be consumed by them. These included cows (genus Bos), buffaloes, sheep, goats, and camels, all of which are still used in various parts of the world for the production of milk for human consumption...
The role of milk in nature is to nourish and provide immunological protection for the mammalian young. Milk and honey are the only articles of diet whose sole function in nature is food. It is not surprising, therefore, that the nutritional value of milk is high."

being that cows are so big they are probably the milkers of choice due to the high quantities of milk they can produce (economics you see...) AND, now that the dairy industry is SOOOO huge, they have instilled in us the "importance" of drinking the milk of another species. although it is great for us to be breast fed as infants, we naturally would lose the lactase enzyme (enzyme to break down milk sugar, lactose) by the age of 5 because we can get all the nutrients we need from solid food.

so you see, now we drink so much cow's milk thanks to the dairy industry, but really, you don't need to drink it, and you shouldn't, it has a lot of proteins that were not made for our system and like I mentioned above, we can get all the nutrients we require from solid food (since we have teeth we can eat now, not like babies who need milk)

cat milk was too sour and not enough

i wondered the same thing :)
