Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The dog was the first animal to be tamed by early humans. It was an intelligent animal compared to goats, sheep, and others. Early humans drew animals to their shelters and then tamed them by leaving food for them. The first tamed animal was the dog's wild ancestor. People later encouraged relatively gentle animals to approach the area where they lived. These animals, which included sheep, goats, cattle, and pigs, lived in herds and mainly ate grass. People frequently defended these animals from attacks by other wild animals. This is how the early man became herders.
The correct statement would be that the first animal to be tamed was the dog.
