I know we're all here for the jokes but there is actually a theory that says the invention of the throwing spear may be what, in the very distant past, sowed the seeds of society as we know it today. After its invention, you no longer needed to be physically bigger or stronger than an adversary, since you could target them from afar. In the animal kingdom, the leader of a group is often simply the most physically powerful male, but with throwing spears this is no longer sufficient to preserve a leader's position since even the one who might be the weakest in a physical fight could throw a spear.

The leader either has to create and enforce rules to limit the ability of tribe members to randomly attack him - a sort of legal system - or actually govern in a way that seeks to avoid pissing people off - at its heart an element of democracy. Fast forward to today and we preserve our social harmony by combining much more sophisticated versions of both.
