In Europe probably about 100 years after Alexander the great (2200 years ago). Al tough the Europeans still used it as a tactical much later on.

The Africans stopped using spears when the AK47 was made by the Russians (just a joke). The Zulu improved the spear to what they called a Assegaai (Spelling?) about 300 years ago and started to use guns around 113 years ago after Great Britten invaded South Africa. So spears were probably still widely in use in Africa only a few decades ago for warfare.

Spears are still in use today for catching fish.

I think you should redo your question to define who "THEY" were.

Indigenous Australians traditionally made spears using locally sourced materials, primarily wood from trees like the stringybark or mulga. They would shape the shaft by carving and smoothing the wood, often using stone tools. For added effectiveness, some spears were fitted with stone or bone tips, which were attached using natural adhesives and bindings. The spears were often decorated and designed for specific purposes, such as hunting or fishing.
