Nobody really knows who first discovered milk, but they know that they used to drink milk all the way back in 7000 BC. They first started to hand out bottles of milk in 1878.
Its possible that someone saw a baby cow drinking from its parent, and wondered if they could do the same.
The main distinguishing feature of mammals is that the females of each species has mammary glands that produce milk. Females lactate only once pregnant; and the milk is used to suckle their infants. The mammary glands usually issue the milk from teats (aka nipples), but in the earlier mammals and monotremes (such as the duck-billed platypus, the milk simple oozes out of the gland and through the fur.
The mammary glands are derived from sweat glands; and it follows that mammals must have sweat glands. However, some mammals, such as dogs, have lost their sweat glands, even though they retain mammary glands.
So how was milk discovered? Answer: by hungry infant mammals.
By simple curiosity. They were curious as to what the baby was drinking and wanted to have a taste themselves.
