Mesoamericans did invent the wheel, and numerous examples of stone toys with wheels have been found from Mexico to Panama, dating back to at least 100 AD. However, in the absence of suitable draft animals and the presence of rough roads over rough terrain, there was no incentive to put the wheel to practical use.
