No one really knows when the bow was invented, or where, but it's use goes back at least 30,000 years, and probably much longer.
The "Iceman" a body found frozen in the Alps, which dates back to the late Stone Age, had a bow and quiver full of arrows which were virtually identical to basic "Self" (one-piece) bows made today, so the weapon was fully developed even then. X-ray examination of the body found a flint arrowhead embedded in his shoulder, so he was shot with an arrow shortly before his death!
