How did the atlatl make hunting easier for early people?

In: Ancient History [Edit categories]

Answer:

Any weapon used for defense or hunting is up graded through the use of technoiogy. It may start with a stick with a tip hardened up with fire. The atlatl is obviously a very upgaded stick. An upgrade provides advantages, usually an increase in range or force. Example, a stone is pretty effective when thrown but greatly enhanced with a sling.
An atlatl grew from a stick to a club to a long stick to a sharpened stick to a throwing stick the end of the stick development was a spear or an ax. Then the stick was combined with a launching device and this was the final design technology. Nothing could go further with muscle power. This ehacment allowed an expanded kill radius and allowed for more darts to be released in harmony with others or in a series or both. Killing at a distance is still a great advantage todays military sniper is an extreme example. Stelth and distance is enhanced with range. The universal usage over great time periods proved the value of the atlatl
