I like hi ow they know where the wheel was invented when nobody really does. And it was probably invented multiple times independently of each other. But nobody knows since it was so long ago.
It was. There’s at least some evidence that the Inca invented the wheel independently, but its application was largely limited to children’s toys IIRC.
To say that it was invented in such place and time only means that we have evidence that a wheel was invented in that place and time. It doesn’t mean that it wasn’t invented elsewhere independently.
Depends on your definition of “wheel”. For example, any ancient perfectly round pottery was made using a pottery wheel (primitive or not). Otherwise, how would you do it?
That’s how we know the ancient Sumerians were using pottery wheels as early as 3250 BCE (because we found perfectly round pottery that’s that old):

Hell it’s still happening. I invented it just a couple weeks ago! And nobody helped me!
I hope it turned out better than your culinary endeavors
The only thing I’m worse at than cooking is everything else.
