The Midrash says that Adam Harishon sacrificed a unicorn. The Ksav Sofer explains that one horn reflects the unique devotion to Hashem as the horn points to the heaven. The Midrash says to write on ‘keren hashor’ rather than karnei hashor indicating that what should reflect the unique existence of G-d they should deny. I heard from Rabbi Moshe Meir Weiss that they would use the horn of an ox to feed a baby milk. So they wanted them to deny Hashem from birth.
