Goat

Goats are among the earliest animals domesticated by humans. 

Neolithic farmers began to herd wild goats primarily for easy access to milk and meat, as well as to their dung, which was used as fuel, and their bones, hair and sinew for clothing, building and tools. The earliest remnants of domesticated goats dating 10,000 years before present are found in Ganj Dareh in Iran. Goat remains have been found at archaeological sites in Jericho, Choga Mami,^[7] Djeitun, and Çayönü, dating the domestication of goats in Western Asia at between 8000 and 9000 years ago.^[5]
