But on the flip side, the ah, indigenous Native American Injuns of the Americas didn't have no wheel when the filthy European invaders came. They had rocks, they had hills, but they never put it all together. (of course, for my money, the tricky part about "the wheel" is actually "the axle".

It's all a matter of choice. The indians were great canoe makers and carries made from two sticks and a cloth worked for their needs which equates to our wagon. Hunting and fishing...Hunting and Fishing...The wives did the farming and everything else. Every man's dream!!

Ever try to float a boat in a desert?
