✒Without fire humankind would’ve only had the moon and stars as a light source at night. In a cave, complete darkness. No Palaeolithic art, and no culture (not counting burials) for us to discover. Perhaps humans may have developed a better visual system for seeing in complete darkness (unlikely because of daylight.✒

✒Without the wheel humans would be restricted to dragging, or rolling large objects. No chariots, and therefore no carts. What a grind. Rollers of wood may have been used but someone surely would have twigged about cutting it down and making a wheel. I believe the the Americas (Incas, Aztecs, Olmec, etc) did not have the wheel - check their civilisations for the impacts. North American Indians had travois for dragging loads about.✒

✒Without iron people would have been stuck in the age of bronze, a softish metal. As long as everybody was on the same page, and didn’t have access to harder weapons, I suppose this wouldn’t have mattered militarily. But without iron humans would not have advanced any further than the so-called dark ages. No nails, no rigid long metalwork, no fine engineering or Industrial Revolution.✒

✒There are probably numerous other lines of blocked inquiry for humans without iron.✒
