What did early humans use to make it easier to transport heavy loads by land?

What animals were used by early humans for carrying loads and ploughing the land?

Why did early humans observe that round things could move easily?

How did early humans improve transportation by river?

Development of Early Human Civilization

Early humans started to rear animals such as pigs, goats, and sheep to provide meat and milk.
Cows were tamed and used in farming as well.

Early Transportation

Early humans walked long distances and carried heavy loads.
They discovered that some animals could be tamed and used for carrying loads and ploughing land.
Animals made it easier for humans to transport goods.

Development of Rafts

Early humans learned to tie logs together to make rafts that allowed them to travel and carry heavy loads by river.

Early Land Transportation

Early humans created sledges or carts that could be pulled along the ground to transport goods.
They used animals to pull the sledges, but this was not easy due to the limitations of the terrain.
The sledges could only move where the ground was smooth.

Invention of the Wheel

Early humans observed that round objects could move easily, as seen when rolling down logs from a hilltop.
They fitted their sledges with pieces of tree trunks, allowing them to roll, thus inventing the wheel.
