$\sf\orange{Answer :-}$

Where the wheel originated is a mystery, but its use spread fast throughout Eurasia and the Middle East. The earliest images of wheeled carts surfaced in Poland, suggesting the region may have seen some of its first use.

Asko Parpola, an Indologist at the University of Helsinki in Finland, suggests that the wheel originated with the Tripolye people of modern-day Ukraine. This is based on the fact that the word 'wheel' is derived from their language.

There is evidence to suggest that the wheel was first used for potter's wheels in Mesopotamia, 300 years before it was adapted to fit the chariot.

The wheelbarrow, however, is believed to have first appeared in ancient Greece between 600 - 400 BCE. China followed sometime later and it eventually found its way to medieval Europe. Although the wheelbarrow was a high priced commodity at the time, it would pay for itself within a few days as it greatly reduced the laborers' workload.

Archaeologists in Vera Cruz, Mexico, unearthed ceramic toys in the form of little animals. The animals were fitted with wheels instead of legs so children could push them along. However, the region never utilized the wheel for transportation until the arrival of the European settlers.

In the Middle East and North Africa, where there is vast desert land, the camel was still the preferred mode of transport right up until 600 A.D. This could be as a result of the hostile region not being able to support thin wooden wheels without them sinking in the sand. Richard Bulliet gives several possible reasons in his 1975 book, The Camel and the Wheel. Middle Eastern societies continued to make use of wheels for practices such as irrigation, milling, and pottery.

The wheel is perhaps man’s greatest invention. Simple as it seems, it is the very basis of movement. The cart, the cycle, the motor-car and the railway train move on wheels. Even aircraft which fly thousands of kilometres through the air need wheels for taking-off and landing. It is not only for transport that the wheel is vital. Machines that produce various goods for us, watches that tell us the time, generators that produce electricity, and many gadgets which have become essential in our day-to-day life cannot work without a wheel.

The wheel did not immediately put an end to the use of beasts of burden for carrying loads. In fact, in some countries of Asia and Africa not only animals but men also are used to carry goods and passengers even today. Even in technically advanced countries, men and beasts are still used at places where machines with wheels cannot reach, for instance, on snow-bound mountains and in dense forests.

Before the invention of the wheel, it must have very difficult to travel long distances. Travellers carried their belongings on their backs and faced many hazards on the way. There were no hotels or serais on the route where they could take shelter or rest and eat. Very few, therefore, dared to travel. Even those who undertook a journey did not know when they would reach their destination and whether they would return home safely.
