There is not one specific person who invented the first spear. However, the Australian Aboriginal people, one of the most ancient races on earth, used the spear.
Aboriginal spears were made of wood from native trees. Different sorts of wood had different purposes, strengths and flexibility, so the type used would vary. The spear tips were made of animal bones or turtle shell, and tied on with human hair for string, or animal hair or hide cut for the purpose.
