New evidence that bows and arrows were used by early modern humans in Europe 54,000 years ago has strengthened the idea that such projectile technology might have given early modern humans an edge over Neanderthals.
Ancient humans crafted bows and arrows in Europe as far back as 54,000 years ago, strengthening the idea that these weapons were instrumental in the spread of early modern humans throughout the continent, a new study finds.
Meanwhile, there is no evidence that Neanderthals ever used bows and arrows ). And that could be one of the reasons early modern humans ultimately supplanted the Neanderthals across Europe about 40,000 years ago, according to research led by scientists in France, including Laure Metz , an archaeologist at Aix-Marseille University, and Ludovic Slimak , a cultural anthropologist at the University of Toulouse-Jean.
The researchers also made replica points from stone found near the rock shelter and fashioned them into arrows, darts for atlatls , and spears, which they then used to shoot at or stab dead goats to simulate hunting prey. They found that some of the larger points could have been effective with spears but that the smallest points wouldn't have been damaging enough without the force from a bow and arrow.
