Guy who invented the wheel |
"The guy who invented the wheel" is a metaphor for the beginning of the Tree of Knowledge which is the sum total of human understanding. It envisions a cave man carving a wheel out of stone or wood making a technological breakthrough that allowed humans to survive and thrive in a primitive world. We don't actually know if there was a "guy" or a woman or if the invention started in one place by one person. The wheel is symbolic of an early invention.
The wheel was predated by stone tools such as axes and knives and wasn't as significant of an invention as the bow, lances, and other projectile weapons. But we use it as an expression to represent early discoveries in the early evolution of humanity.
