If White Men never evolved / came about...I believe that Sub Saharan ****** would have eventually figured out THE WHEEL for a 3 mile per hour / 30 rpm max rotational speed cart on their own.

I would guess they would have first develop metallurgy. Did anyone ever use (not as a toy) a fully wooden wheeled vehicle? Without any metal parts.

I suppose so.
The earliest carts didn't need to be very well engineered to last long enough to be worth the effort to built.
The very first use of "the wheel" would have been rolling logs placed under heavy loads like those Eqytian Pyramid blocks .

Did you know that very hard wood was used as propellor shaft bushings [pillar blocks] on the first prop driven ocean going ships...?
 
There is an African hard wood [memory fails now] that is probably the hardest in the world...probably close to soft aluminum...?

Sure you can use metal axis with wooden bushings. But wooden axis with wooden bushings? Any example?

The part of the axis in bushing covered with metal cylinder, I think. And it clearly has metal screws and a metal rod to hold it together.

No one really understands what makes for high intelligence in individuals, or what makes one culture reach high levels of acheivement -- and then decline.

Go to Guatemala today -- pretty sad. Inert. They don't do well on international educational comparisions, to put it mildly.

And yet. These people are the descendants of the Maya, who were doing astronomy, and had invented a positional-exponential numbering system. Something happened. It wasn't due to their genes.

 

You don't actually know that. 

They may have been camping out in **** they didnot build.

I donot believe that the ancestors of today's Egyptians built the pyramids.

I do nottrust history, or pre-history. The people in charge of it have their own agenda. 

I have more faith in Forbidden Archaeology than in orthodoxy - ANY orthodoxy.
