Early humans experimented on tools

It has been found that our ancestors did not just happen to come across the ideas for tools and early weapons. These were made through a rigorous process of trial and error, they actually experimented with the tools until they go them right.

Researchers from the University of Missouri in the US have found that over 1,500 years ago in North America, early man began work on the bow and arrow and it has been found that through a number of experiments the bow and arrow was perfected.

This is quite astonishing when you think of the development that is needed to develop the dynamics of flight are involved with the arrow, its not just a stick this is an early version of the missile and as man has found out over the year a silent but very deadly weapon too.
