Many different cultures and peoples, widely separated and isolated, one from another, seem to have developed bows and arrows on their own, at various periods throughout history.
Nobody knows exactly where or when Archery originated, but some estimates are that bows and arrows were first developed around 10,000-15,000 years ago. The oldest surviving bows and arrows have been found in Europe, but that in no way means that archery originated there. It simply means that the conditions in those particular areas are conducive to the preservation of the materials used to make the ancient weapons..

∙ 12y agoThe bow and arrow has no known origin but is belived to come from the atlattle. the attlattle is a spear throwing tool that has a notch in it to put the spear in. when the cavemen finally figured out that they can bend wood and not break it they put a sting between and fired the spear like that. but spears were too big so they mad a miniature version and named it the arrow and the bent wood a bow.
