Trivia: What was the first animal to be domesticated by humans?
Wolves
Goats
Horses
Cats
The correct answer is Wolves
So why is this answer correct? : Dogs are man’s best — and oldest — friend. Because the domestication of wolves into modern-day dogs happened in the distant past, scientists can’t be sure exactly when or where dogs first became our friends. Estimates place the animal’s domestication as far back as 30,000 years ago, long before the domestication of the first livestock animal: goats.
