Blah blah bc time is backward, 9,000 is older than 8,999, now that we have that out of the way I wonder how they calculate the invention of the bow. Like they just haven’t found one anywhere older then that. It’s just green sticks and ropes at some point. Wonder what the chances are there was something prior that we don’t know because it wasn’t built long enough to last.

They rely on artifacts and art. So yeah, it’s quite possible the bow was invented earlier, probably a bunch of times in a bunch of places.
People are smart, but we’re smart in pretty regular and repeatable ways.
It just says they were invented in 9k BC. That does exclude them also having been invented in 10k BC.
