    You never know. Societies both real and ficticious can often get along just fine with some seemingly obvious gaps in their knowledge.

    Many cultures have no concept of zero, and many have no concept of left and right (direction is absolute, so north, east, south, west, etc.).

    As for fiction, take Steven Universe. The Diamond Authority managed to exist for millennia and conquer numerous planets without ever inventing the wheel, instead using flight, teleportation (via warp pads), and palanquins (which have legs).
