What if instead of making something up and barfing onto my screen you spend 3 seconds of googling and actually learning something? Because one thing you can be certain of that there were not many pawed roads 10k bc
The wheel, first used effectively in ancient Mesopotamia, revolutionized human history by enabling faster transportation for goods and people, transforming warfare with chariots, revolutionizing agriculture and crafts through irrigation and grinding techniques, and forming the foundation for modern machinery, including waterwheels and windmills, which drove industrialization and continues to shape our world today (https://www.citeco.fr/10000-years-history-economics/the-origins/invention-of-the-wheel#%3A~%3Atext=The+wheel+was+invented+in%2Cthe+basic+mechanism+in+windmills).&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwir3ODIvYKQAxXp_rsIHQ9mK64QgMkKegQIThAE&usg=AOvVaw0GmNq2t-l7KEwCmTL7tZcb)
I meant it more as in the context of subsaharan Africa not having the wheel until the 19th century. Wheels for transportation were pretty much useless until they got roads there.
I see now I should have caveated my post with 5 qualifiers now.
No you didn’t! If you meant that you would have said that as there is an titsy bitsy bit of a difference between a region of a continent to a time and the whole wide world until now!
The wheel is overrated historically. You need paved roads for a wheel to be useful while a donkey train climbs mountains.
TIL all the wheelbarrows on construction sites are actually completely useless and they should just use donkeys instead
Today I learned that Jeeps just don’t do anything when the pavement ends.
That one’s true actually. Mall Parking lots are usually paved anyway.

And still, thats a whole lot of bs!
Your mom was in that donkey train
She was only there because she thought the train would take her to get a donkey punch.
Found the Neanderthal
Camels and rivers were also major modes of transportation.
Pretty good video on that whole context: Why precolonial Africa didn’t have the wheel
Rivers are the GOAT
