    First modes of transportation

    Walking, jogging, and running were the first ways people got around from place to place, until log boats from 10,000-7,000 years ago were made by people who colonized Australia to cross the seas.

    Invention of the wheel and domestication of horses
    It is believed we started domesticating horses around 4,000 BC for transporting goods and going around from place to place. We invented the wheel in modern-day Iraq around 3,500 BC, where they were first made of solid pieces of wood carved into a circle.
