Did you see Fear Factor last night?
Gentlemen, we hit a new low.
That one mouthy chick's gagometer was red-lining.

Horses became extinct in the Americas due to a subsequent ice. I theorize that other forms of animals that were suitable to domesticate were also wiped out by that ice age. As a result American natives did not have a crucial resource at hand. The wheel was not invented or not utilized due to simply not having animals to pull wagons.
An ice age that also would have affected Europe and Asia- and yet domestication of the Eurasian horse was vital to the expansion of several empires. I don't see an ice age killing off just the horse and not a large swathe of other creatures- besides which, the ice sheets/glaciers presumably wouldn't have covered the whole of the North American continent.
In any case, the Aztecs and other Mesoamerican cultures had 'wheel' calendars and wheeled toys, and pottery 'wheels'. They knew of the concept of the wheel, and yet had no beasts of burden to harness wheel power.

Molly, Correct me if I am wrong, but the first animal hitched to a cart was the Ox. Ned
From what I can recall of my studies, it was in the 4th millennium b.c. that oxen were first hitched to a plough/sledge, then almost at the same time, oxen and asses/onagers were being used for pulling wheeled ploughs/sledges, towards the end of the fourth millennium. This was in the Near East.

The Inca's had llamas, which could have pulled a cart.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
I almost made note of that. WTG, Che.
And not just Incas.

Well, the Chimu and others came before the Inca, so we can roll them all into one. They also had alpacas, but I don't know how much use they'd be as beasts of burden.
I'm trying to imagine making mini-carts for chihuahuas.

Chihuahua. Bad little motor scooter ankle biters.
Pulling a cart. That's a funny picture.

My neighbers in Chicago had a chihuahua, named Killer. It was pronounced, KEE-ler. The cutest moment was when he tried to chase me, all barking and acting bad, and the little kids are running to stop him worried he'll hurt me.
