They didn't. There is no evidence that Neandertals ever threw spears. If anything, it is likely that they did not or could not throw. Modern athletes who perform repetitive tasks, such as Baseball pitchers, show more stress on their shoulder for their dominant, throwing, arm. While it is clear that Neandertals also favoured one limb over the other (i.e., "handedness"), there is no such evidence that would point to frequent throwing, as would be expected. The first evidence of throwing was not until after they had gone extinct as a subspecies (or species, depending upon who you ask).
Neanderthals are believed to have used thrusting spears rather than throwing spears, as evidence suggests they lacked the anatomical adaptations necessary for throwing, such as a specific shoulder joint structure. This skill of throwing spears is thought to have been developed by Homo sapiens, not Neanderthals.
Yes, evidence suggests that Neanderthals did use spears for hunting. Archeological findings have uncovered wooden spears with stone or bone tips that were likely used by Neanderthals in their hunting activities.
hand axes, spears, and other tools
they were probably hammeraxes,chizels,spears,and scrapers
Neanderthals primarily used simple tools and weapons made from stone, such as spears, knives, and hand axes. They also used wooden tools such as digging sticks and wooden spears. Some evidence suggests they may have also used hafted tools made from bone or antler.
Neanderthals used knives for various tasks, such as cutting meat, bone, and plants. These tools were essential for butchering animals, processing hides, and making other tools like spears and scrapers. Knives also enabled neanderthals to prepare food, leading to a more varied diet and potentially improved nutrition.
no they didnt. neanderthals did
Possibly spears, rocks, and sticks
hand axes, spears, and other tools
The javeline throw originated in Africa. This was taken from the African tribesman throwing spears.
they were probably hammeraxes,chizels,spears,and scrapers
throwing spears and wooden swords
They used boomarangs and spears but throwing knifes was not one of there wepons
Javlins, spears, balls, discus,
Neanderthals primarily used simple tools and weapons made from stone, such as spears, knives, and hand axes. They also used wooden tools such as digging sticks and wooden spears. Some evidence suggests they may have also used hafted tools made from bone or antler.
Mostly rocks and clubs. Neanderthals lacked projectile weapons (Spears) though they throw a rock.
Romans are very good at throwing spears
The spear is older than our species since pre-humans used wooden spears. The neanderthals made spears from wood and stone at least 300,000 years ago.
