What did people use for transportation before the sail boat was invented?

Before the invention of the sailboat, people primarily relied on oars and paddles for water transportation using simple canoes, rafts, and boats made from materials like wood, reeds, or animal skins. On land, they utilized domesticated animals such as horses, donkeys, and oxen, as well as walking or using carts for transporting goods and people. Additionally, early humans also made use of sleds and other rudimentary vehicles for movement across various terrains.
