The anthropological theory as to why there is no use of the wheel (other then toys - maybe!) is because there is no domesticated pack animal large enough to pull it. Remember the horse didn’t arrive until the Spanish came. I guess trying to domesticate the buffalo didn’t work (Besides the NA tribes were mostly migratory even without the horse!). In SA, they largest animal would be what - the Llama?
Maybe it makes sense!
So, you’re telling me chariots pulled by teams of turkeys wouldn’t have been terrifying machines of war?
I would think that the wheelbarrow could have been useful.
