The invention of the wheel is a crowning achievement of early humans, but who actually invented it?
Historically speaking, wheels are a much newer development than you might expect.
The oldest recovered specimen is a wooden Slovenian model built sometime between 5,100 and 5,350 years ago. By then, humans had already been practicing agriculture for several millennia-in fact, farming may date all the way back to 12,000 BCE. Canoes and animal domestication also vastly predate the wheel.
