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."

yeah fuck it why not, let's give a man the ability to shoot sticks clean THROUGH things if they so want.
