LOL - they left out the knife and sword!

They started instead with the arrow, but surely that is a secondary invention, building first on the knife and then the sword, and then the concept of bladed weapons generally.

Hmph.

And actually, shouldn’t they have started with the fist? Followed by the rock, and then the bone or branch club?

Double Hmph.

Feh - this is what revolutionized warfare:

Anything nicknamed a "John Wayne" you just know has to be good.

The list should have started off with edged weapons.

Aggressive behavior is rooted in a Garden a little over 6000 years ago.
