Question

why animals do were used by earlier people?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The first animals to be domesticated for food use are thought to be sheep, between 11,000 and 9,000 B.C. in Southwest Asia. Goats followed later around 8,000 BC. Both animals were used for their meat, milk, and coats, and became an integral part of nomadic communities.

Answer 2

Answer:

Archaeological evidence suggests that the earliest domestication of animals occurred in western Asia around 8,000 BCE as humans increasingly turned to farming for their food supply. Goats and sheep were tamed and raised for their meat, milk and hides (in the case of sheep, wool).
