It Seems That Man Has Been Developing Weapons Since The Beginning Of Time

Neanderthals watch out: This reconstruction of a Homo sapiens hunting party from the BBC documentary Planet of the Apeman shows how our ancestors might have wielded their 'high tech' weapons

Did Our Ancestors' 'High Tech' Projectile Weapons Give Them The Killing Edge To Become The Dominant Human Species? -- Daily Mail

* Archaeological finds in South Africa dating back 71,000 years are the earliest evidence of humans making projectile weapons
* The findings at Pinnacle Point, near Mossel Bay, suggest this could be the the region were early humans first emerged

The development of 'high tech' long range weapons 71,000 years ago in Africa gave humans the killing edge which helped make us the dominant species, a new study suggests.

Finds in South Africa suggest that by the time our ancestors began to spread across the planet they had developed advanced weapons that made them more than a match for Neanderthal rivals.

Research on stone tools and Neanderthal anatomy strongly suggests that our now-extinct sister species lacked true projectile weapons.

My Comment: Since there is no evidence that Neanderthals developed such "advanced" weapons, I can then only assume that modern man has a genetic characteristic that makes us strive to develop better tools for killing. If this is the case .... I can then only imagine what another 70,000 years of evolution may bring in new weapon developments and technologies .... that is if we live that long.
