One wonders how that society would have developed if Europeans had not come on the scene. No doubt they would eventually invent science, the wheel, written language, and so forth. If that happened, then I would expect a similar result in due time

I don't think it would be much different. At various periods the Indians in North America had substantial civilizations. Anasazi, Hopewell, and Cahokia all rose and collapsed and left nothing behind in their descendants. Complete collapse. Without domesticated animal labor, intensive agriculture, the wheel, and advanced metal working, they were pretty limited in how far they could advance beyond basic subsistence.
