A classic example of an early human invention is undoubtedly the wheel. Most call it the most important human invention, the quintessence of human innovation. What most brightly Homo sapiens of all other living creatures.
However, in terms of human history and compared to other inventions, the wheel is actually quite our creation.
The ancient Mesopotamians in present-day Iraq became the first people who they only used the wheel about 5500 years ago.
Relatively recent cultures from other parts of the world managed to make impressive technical achievements without his help at all. For example, the people of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) transported and erected their moai statues less than 1,000 years ago. But, notice, less than 1000 years ago they had no wheels!
