I highly doubt it, cavemen must have drank the milk of any female mammal they killed, by necessity. We created cows much more recently, to provide us with meat and milk

You don’t give enough credit to ingrained instincts that even humans would have had or the intelligence level in seeing animal young drinking like our young would.

Never underestimate the power of observation that primitive humans were capable of.

Agreed. I used to think along the same lines as OP but when I thought about it, it's fairly natural. Especially as human babies drink milk anyway, I suppose we would have seen calves (or any mammal for that matter) doing the same thing.

Although admittedly, they don't look like our boobies, plus I don't like warm milk... Seems too fresh.

Since we can't see other animal babies drinking milk from their mom... The story of Rome (two boys abandoned survive by growing up with a wolf).

Go outside. Touch some grass. Take a porn break dude.
