Everything we take for granted has been invented by someone, someone had to do it first and quite often things were discovered by accident, while trying to do something else.

Right?

So... that first person to make a white sauce, to melt butter and stir in flour, and then milk... what on EARTH were they doing?

They were playing God, that's what they were doing. And they came very close to succeeding.
Especially when they let it burn around the edges just a teensy bit.

I definitely felt like God the first time I put just a tiny bit of dijon mustard in when I was making it, that's for sure!

Also, the first person to milk a cow. Yup.

Good question! Or ask themselves "I wonder what those flying creatures are hiding" while looking at a beehive...
