Goats and Sheep were domesticated during the Stone Age primarily for their valuable resources, including meat, milk, and wool. Their relatively docile nature made them easier to manage and herd, supporting a more settled agricultural lifestyle. Additionally, both species adapted well to various environments, allowing early humans to rely on them for sustenance as they transitioned from nomadic hunting and gathering to farming. This domestication played a crucial role in the development of early human societies.
