There were aplications such as the potter's wheel and the spindle whorl, what they didn't have was beasts of burdens to make carts practical and given Aztecs and Mayas largely lived in places in which the use of small canoes could substitute for wheelbarrows there was no real problem for the wheel to solve.

>>65773100
Biological diversity is a lot more than what you find in Canada and there were advanced civilizations prior to European arrival, to some extent countries like Peru and Mexico are a continuation of those.

>>65773153
>Blows my mind that they never invented fuckin wheels except for use on childrens toys lmao
It makes sense when you consider the three main civilizations were in rough terrain, unlike the plains Proto-Indo-Europeans inhabited. Up to this date, travelling in certain places is easier with pack animals than wheels.

Still not an excuse for the likes of the Iroquois and Guarani, though.

Not really, no. However murderous and exploitative Spaniards may have been they did also to some extent act in accordance to what they believed was the best interests of the natives, they Christianized them, they passed laws to protect them, while they exploited them they did protect them from the slavery that was aplied to blacks, they married the women they took and raised their children. Sure there was savagery and rape and all the things you may expect from a war of conquest in the 16th century but they did not set to wipe them out or to steal their lands from them, which in their own fashion they shared granting many of the native comunities deeds which for the most part they did honor and respected.

In the trial of history their behaviour was certainly far from exemplary and many indigenous comunities in Mexico today suffer as badly as many in the US and Canada, but the larger part of the descendants of the Amerindians in those days are Mexicans. They own their own country, they're not a minority in it but the mainstream, they literally became the same thing their conquerors became, the same people. The descendants of the Aztecs are alive and well today.

It's a very different fate from those who met peoples who meant to only take their lands and who did deliberately meant to wipe them off the face off the earth.

>>65774881
And that's why Mexico is a shit country.

>>65774943
No, we are a middle class country, we have six years more life expectancy than Russians, a beetr HDI than China and half Brasil's murder rate. Considering we are the worst moment of our recent history and in the midst of fighting a war e aren't really doing that bad.

>>65775193

That's basically the same as what happened here. We didn't genocide the natives you fucking idiot. They got hit with smallpox early on and most of their population as wiped out. The ones that fought us we beat and forced to conform, (just like Spain. They fought the Apaches for decades). Go read an actual history book instead of memes on your favorite La Raza facebok page you dumb fucking spic.

In the mountains of the peruvian andes the wheel was never used even after the spanish conquest because of the terrain.
The fucking train had to be invented to make the use wheels feasible.

There's a severly butthurt Mexican in this thread

Mexico is undeveloped because they are oppressing their powerful Amerindian genes. They need to wake up from their 500 year slumber and cleanse themselves of the Hispanic disease.
