Archery Vindicated!

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

Hey guys, if that bow and arrow are 60,000 years old, I think we may have a problem. Or perhaps it is an opportunity: shouldn't we re-appraise the atlatl in that light too? If the atlatl was the bow's predecessor that would make it a very ancient tool/weapon, does it not?
Care to philosophize about the ramifications that might have?

There are pistols, shotguns and rifles in use at the same time. It does depend on the target.
Again, why the automatic assumption that our forefathers were so blooming stupid that they could only use one weapon at a time?
I'd think that there is no problem with using a bow/arrow for small, agile targets.... an atlatl for a long range attack on a big animal and a thrusting spear for the coup d'grace.
It wouldn't surprise me to learn that a stone age hunter also kept a big, man-eating club handy to deal with interlopers.
