I am very curious about this mental model of the world. Where do you believe sheep came from? Who, in your mind, invented sheep?


Our ancestors did. Humans cultivated sheep from wild ancestors for easier harvesting of their wool, milk, and meat.

The domesticated sheep that we know today are completely co-dependent on humans for survival. If we disappeared, they would all die. Maybe some would manage evolve back into some wild version.
