Later, he began taming animals, like oxen, horses, donkeys, and camels, and used them for carrying the loads. Gradually, men started carrying loads by dragging wood planks with the help of animals. After a long time, around 3500 BC, an idea struck one of the wise Homo sapiens residing in Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq). He cut a disc from the trunk of a tree and made a hole in its center; the end product was the wheel—arguably the greatest invention in human history! Interestingly, the wheel he invented was not used for transportation but for pottery!\n
