Original Title: TIL of the Schöningen Spears, ten intact wooden spears discovered in a German mine between 1994-99. Strikingly similar to modern competition javelins, the 400,000 year old spears are the oldest worked wooden weapons ever found, and suggest early hominids used very sophisticated hunting techniques.
