Honestly, nobody knows for sure. The earliest bow fragments were discovered in Germany, but it is believed that the first bows may have been from Africa. I remember a story I was told when I was young of a hunter walking through the jungle with his spear. He was surprised when he happened upon an ancient beast. So surprised was he that when he turned to run, he got tangled in some vines. He freed himself, but his spear was still tangled. He grabbed the butt of the spear and pulled as hard as he could, but he could not free it. As the beast approached, he let go of the spear and ran for his life. But after running for a while, he realized he was not being pursued. He made his way back to find that the spear had been sent flying by the branches and vines, killing the beast. I'm sure if the hunter had the foresight to patent it, he would have been the richest man in ancient history.
