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!

One time my toddler left a cup of milk hidden in their playroom. Yes, making yogurt by accident is totally doable.
