    It didn’t really take off until we invented the atlatl. It’s a specially shaped tool that let’s you throw a spear farther - like that tennis ball flinger for playing fetch with your dog.

    That’s when we went “now I can kill that fucking water buffalo without getting close enough for it to wreck my shit.”

      and then someone invented the bow, just to show off.
      yeah fuck it why not, let’s give a man the ability to shoot sticks clean THROUGH things if they so want.
