Esters with low molecular weight are commonly used as fragrances and found in essential oils and pheromones.
Wikipedia gave me the above.
Such compounds are mostly esters.
Animal husbandry is using animals for the purpose of humans.
Esters are flavorings. They are also used with perfumes.
Esters are compounds that form when organic acids react with alcohols.
Esters are neutral compounds
Esters lack hydrogen atoms attached directly to highly electronegative atoms like oxygen or nitrogen, which are necessary for forming hydrogen bonds. In esters, the hydrogen atoms are bonded to carbon atoms, making them unable to participate in hydrogen bonding with other esters.
Yes, sodium borohydride can reduce esters to alcohols.

Esters are used as softeners in molding and plastic industries, in artificial fragrances or scents, as solvents in pharmaceutical industries, as industrial solvents for making fats, cellulose, paints and varnishes, and used in making artificial food flavors that are added into food such as ice cream and sweets.
I doubt there was a 'purpose' to it, they were humans, and humans seem to be hardwired to feel inferior and with a need to explain the unexplainable
Natural esters are derived from natural sources such as plants and animals, while synthetic esters are man-made through chemical processes. Natural esters tend to be more environmentally friendly and biodegradable compared to synthetic esters, which may offer more consistent performance and tailored properties.
The purpose is basically the same as a humans
