Stabbing with a stick is NOT using a spear..
Like throwing rocks is not ejecting a projectile..

"Stabbing with a stick is NOT using a spear.. "

What would you call breaking the stick off, stripping it down, and chewing it sharp and then using that end to stab a living creature to kill it?

Tell that to the Zulus who wiped out the 24th in 1879.

The throwing spear is a relatively recent invention. When our ancestors (or even Neanderthals) hunted, they used stabbing spears.
