Question

Who and when the first wheel was invented and how it has revolutionised the travel?

Answer 1

The wheel is probably the most important mechanical invention of all time. Nearly every machine built since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution involves a single, basic principle embodied in one of mankind’s truly significant inventions. It’s hard to imagine any mechanized system that would be possible without the wheel or the idea of a symmetrical component moving in a circular motion on an axis. From tiny watch gears to automobiles, jet engines and computer disk drives, the principle is the same.  

Based on diagrams on ancient clay tablets, the earliest known use of this essential invention was a potter’s wheel that was used at Ur in Mesopotamia (part of modern day Iraq} as early as 3500 BC. The first use of the wheel for transportation was probably on Mesopotamian chariots in 3200 BC. It is interesting to note that wheels may have had industrial or manufacturing applications before they were used on vehicles.

A wheel with spokes first appeared on Egyptian chariots around 2000 BC, and wheels seem to have developed in Europe by 1400 BC without any influence from the Middle East. Because the idea of the wheel appears so simple, it’s easy to assume that the wheel would have simply "happened" in every culture when it reached a particular level of sophistication. However, this is not the case. The great Inca, Aztec and Maya civilizations reached an extremely high level of development, yet they never used the wheel. In fact, there is no evidence that the use of the wheel existed among native people anywhere in the Western Hemisphere until well after contact with Europeans.

Even in Europe, the wheel evolved little until the beginning of the nineteenth century. However, with the coming of the Industrial Revolution the wheel became the central component of technology, and came to be used in thousands of ways in countless different mechanisms.

Answer 2

early man invented wheel when he noticed that when he moved logs they started rolling which made work easy.

slowly he made wheels by shaping round shaped logs.

then he made carts which made trasportation easier.

he learned  by the unfortunate rolling of logs which made him use wheels work could b done with ease.this was during the paleolithic age

Answer 3

Did you think that cavemen were writing things down, then?  Wheels gave people a way to avoid carrying or dragging things, so they could move heavier loads with a single power-plant (be that human, horse/ox).

Answer 4

wheel was first invented by the earlymen....they made it with the help of wood.

once ,an early man was going  near the riverside ...he accidentry hit a log lying on the ground... he was completely fascinated to see the log rolling...then he took the log and put it underneath the cart which was pulled by the domesticated animals...he kept adjusting the log as soon the cart moved ahead...gradually ...earlymen then fixed the logs permanently to the carts ...

m sry ...i dont know more!....but i can assure u that this is the correct ans.
