Why is the first wheel always shown as stone? Surely a log would have lent itself to the discovery of rolling much more readily

When it was on TV, the Flintstones cartoon made it to everyone's mind.

Rolling logs is something even beavers have probably been rediscovering over the eras.

The Flintstones fascinated me when I was a kid because everything had already been invented but it was just made out of rocks and wood instead of metal and plastic. So for example they had a stone dishwasher appliance powered by a bird or something.
