You've established that basic concepts like continents are not a thing you really understand.
Cool, but they are not Africans. This is about Africans.

Cool but the Egyptians are Africans. They had the wheel. Your ancestors didn't. You borrowed the idea from the Sumerians. Thats how knowldge works.
I am not the one who doesn't know Egypt is in Africa, Cletus.
True or False: Egypt is in Africa.Nice attempt at dodging the obvious.
Here's an example of your idiocy.
"Thats how knowldge works."
Get back to us when you understand common English.
Africans, staying in place for those thousands of years, never invented the wheel.
True.True or False: Egypt is in Africa.
True or False: the OP asks:
True or False: If the OP asks why Africans never invented the wheel, yet Egypt is in Africa, then the OP is ignorant.
No idiot moron. He said Africans. You are functionally illiterate aren't you?True.
He asked why blacks never developed the wheel. Instead of addressing that question, which has a reasonable response that is actually factual, namely, they didn't need to because the weather where they lived was much more moist thus food gathering was tremendously easier.
But no, you try and make it a racist thing, because you are an idiot.
You're being intellectually rigid here Zinc. You are wholly ignoring the contextual importance of how "borders" or regions were conceptualized and recognized by the actors in question. Neither the sub-saharan Africans, or the peoples of the Mediterranean had the full scope of today's cartography, and reasons for lines of delineation between continental nomenclature. Today's recognition of such has absolutely no bearing in the time, and place in which "the wheel" was invented....No idiot moron. He said Africans. You are functionally illiterate aren't you?
No, but you clearly are.No idiot moron. He said Africans. You are functionally illiterate aren't you?
Early humans left Africa (so they think now) 60K to 90K years ago. They became Europeans, Asians, Middle-Easterners, Australians, Americans. This after traveling thousands of miles away from Africa and adapting to new climates, new lands, new waters.
Africans, staying in place for those thousands of years, never invented the wheel. When European explorers went to the interior of Africa, they found no wheels, and little to no advancement beyond the Stone Age.
Why?
Wheels don't work work in sand dunes. Camels do.Because of the failure to domesticate draft animals. The same reason the Incas, and Aztecs hadn't. The closest thing they had were alpacas, and llamas, which are wholly unsuited for draftwork beyond carrying meager basket loads...

You seriously think roads came before wheels?
Jesus. You'll lie when the evidence of it is right there for all to see.He asked why blacks never developed the wheel.
Why Did Africans Never Invent the Wheel?
I think the OP is talking about sub Saharan aka “black Africa”Bing AI researched "Did Africans never invent or use the wheel?"
Contrary to popular belief, the wheel was indeed used in Africa to various extents throughout history1. While it may have been common for Africans to manually carry their goods or use pack animals to transport economic goods, there was broad awareness, knowledge, and use of wheeled transports (e.g., carts, carriages, chariots, wagons) in Africa1. However, the environment in some parts of tropical Africa, as well as alternative forms of travel and transport, such as via canoe and beasts of burden/riding animals (e.g., donkeys, horses, camels), may have resulted in decreased use of animal-drawn wheeled transport in Africa1.
The wheel was also given other technical applications in Africa, such as a water wheel and a potter’s wheel1. For instance, the potter’s wheel was introduced into ancient Nubia by ancient Egypt1.
In North Africa, in the 5th century BCE, Herodotus reported the use of chariots by Garamantes in the Saharan region1. Rock art engravings of ox-drawn wagons and horse-driven chariots can be found in Algeria, Libya, southern Morocco, Mauritania, and Niger1.
So yes, Africans did use the wheel. However, it’s important to note that very few places/peoples on earth actually “invented” the wheel2. The wheel is thought to have been invented around 3500 BC by a Homo sapiens living in Mesopotamia3, and this technology then had to spread throughout the entirety of continental Eurasia, and much of Africa2.

North Africa, or “Arab Africa”, had contact and was part of ancient Classical civilization and had technology and society light years ahead of the continent below the Sahara.

Why?
They used wheels in pottery making, grinding and irrigation.
