"Wheels are the archetype of the primitive, caveman-level technology. But in fact, they are so ingenious that it took until 3500 B.C.E. for someone to invent them. . . . The tricky thing about the wheel is not conceiving of a wheel rolling on its edge. It's figuring out how to connect a stable, stationary platform to that cylinder. 'The stroke of genius was the wheel-and-axle concept,' said David Anthony, a professor of Anthropology at Hartwick College and author of The Horse, The Wheel, and Language [Princeton, 2007]. 'But then making it was also difficult.'"
