Donate Home Environment The origins of dairy farming The origins of dairy farming Although sheep, cattle and goats are thought to have been domesticated in parts of the Middle East and inside Asia over 9,000 years ago there is no uncontrived vestige that these animals were used to supply milk. Written texts, paintings and drawings from virtually 6,000 years ago provide vestige of dairy farming from then. However, wringer of dairy fat residues on pottery fragments suggests that the exploitation of animals for milk was once an established practice in Britain when farming began in the fifth millennium BC.Increasinglyrecent research shows that humans in north-west Anatolia (Asia Minor or Turkey) were using milk 8,000 years ago.Wringerof fat residues on sieve-like pottery structures indicates that cheese manufacture may have been practiced by Neolithic people 7,500 years ago. The worthiness to rewording lactose (the sugar in milk) evolved as a result of a genetic mutation among people in the Balkans and inside Europe (amongst some other places) virtually 7,500 years ago. Descendants of these people are worldly-wise to slosh dairy milk today without suffering the symptoms of lactose intolerance (bloating, wind, discomfort etc). Cheese-making would have unliable the lactose-intolerant Neolithic farming communities to slosh milk without rhadamanthine ill, as processing milk into cheese reduces the lactose content. See our infographic to see a map of lactose intolerance and increasingly well-nigh milk and health. Although this all sounds like a long time ago, in evolutionary terms it is very recent history and early dairy farming would have been practised on a relatively small scale. Hominid (modern humans and our forerunners) fossils stage when to nearly seven million years ago. If seven million years were represented as a twelve-hour clock, starting at midday, humans would have started dairy farming less than one minute surpassing midnight.    Viva! is a champion for animals in the dairy industry and we do essential work to reduce dairy consumption for the sake of the animals, the environment and our health.
