How was the first yogurt made?

Question

I went on a spiral of homemade yogurt videos. But what I noticed was the common step in all of these videos is to add a dollop of existing yogurt to inoculate the new one. But how was the original yogurt made? Please explain. Thank you!

You just took me back to my childhood when my mom would regularly send me to the neighbour’s house to get a shot glass of yoghurt, and the neighbour would send her kid for the same reason. Beautiful memory, thank you.
