Philosophy begins in wonder- Plato. The thing that separates man from plants and cows is the ability to reason. So can we have that ability to reason without wonder?

I found that a guy in his summary of Plato's Theaetetussaid that Socrates says there that "philosophy begins in wonder", but he didn't cite the page! So I had to look for it and here's the best current translation:
"this wondering: this is where philosophy begins and nowhere else." Tht 155d.

Philosophy begins with which Milesian philosopher?
That's a good question, but this is like asking "Philosophy begins with which Hellenistic Philosophy?" or "Philosophy begins with which Medieval Scholasticism?" or "Which philosopher began British Philosophy?" because the answer is that there is no first philosopher that began any peculiar kind of philosophy that characterized an era, culture, nation, etc. However one of the earliest known philosopher of the pre-socratic times is the Milesian philosopher Thales (Aristotle considered him to be the first philosopher of the pre-socratics, but we don't know this for sure).

Why philosophy is queen of all sciences?
Philosophy is regal, womanly regal. It was the earliest to develop out of human thoughts. It is considered a mother to all sciences. It in fact spawns sciences. Philosophy attempts speculation on things when science is not able to test them. Philosophy forms hypotheses which, when it becomes equipped enough, Science puts to tests and either proves to theories or discards as fallacies. Philosophy walks in front of science leading it, and progresses through science into newer hypotheses, unsatiatingly. Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art. Leaving her gains to her children, i.e., the sciences, philosophy like a regal queen mother passes on discontentedly to the yet unexplored things which she alone can speculate on.
