If you were to ask most people what the very first invention that humans came up with is, many of them might say the wheel. 

It isn’t a bad guess, but believe it not, the wheel was nowhere close to being the first invention. 

In fact, as far as we know, there were a whole bunch of things that were invented before the wheel, and in fact, probably had to have been invented before the wheel.

Learn more about why the wheel wasn’t invented sooner, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
