Oldest Javelins Predate Modern Humans, Raise Questions on Evolution:
The oldest known stone-tipped projectiles have been discovered in Ethiopia. The javelins are roughly 280,000 years old and predate the earliest known fossils of our species, Homo sapiens, by about 80,000 years.
Heck, I had no idea that the fossil record for stoned tipped spears (with marks consistent with thrusting) went back half a millenium.
