The bow and arrow were invented in what century?

About 10 thousand years ago, in the Stone Age, people invented the bow and arrow – a universal means of hunting and defense. Initially, the ancient inhabitants used stones and spears, but over time, their skills in making tools and weapons have grown. This allowed them to make more complex and elaborate items. The bow and arrow helped to hunt at long distances. Also, smaller species of animals became available to primitive people, which could be hit with this weapon, consisting of a launcher and a sharp arrow.
