First creature to walk on land 'dragged itself along' on two feet - like it was on crutches. One of the first creatures to walk on land didnât scamper gracefully out of the waves. Instead, the creature, known as Ichthyostega, would have hauled itself up on its front limbs like it was on crutches.
Transport on land. The first form of transport on land was, of course, WALKING! Then, thousands of years ago, people started to use donkeys and horses to travel and to transport things on land. Around 3,500 BC, the wheel was invented. The first wheels were simply solid discs, carved from one lump of wood.
