It seems so ordinary and simple, but it took early humans a long time to figure out the wheel from what I’ve heard and I can’t understand why.
In: Engineering
Wheels are only useful if you’ve got a fairly large area of unobstructed, kinda flat land, as well as something you want to move that would benefit greatly from being on wheels. So put yourself 40,000 years ago. There’s no roads, humans haven’t spent time clearing land for farming or cattle. Since you’ve never been able to move anything that you couldn’t carry yourself, you don’t own anything that you can’t carry.
