well yea humans didnt invent the bow or the atlat specifically for killing humans.
they just wanted a new hunting tool that just so happened to revolutionize the way they lived... the implications of killing at a distance are huge, no other animals can kill as efficiently as a human can.

edit: think about humanity hundreds and thousands of years ago. it was an extremely hostile place with constant human on human violence. what do you think has changed from then and now? why is there so much less violence and so much more innovation? are modern people all of a sudden not prone to violence? why do you think in a matter of a few hundred years all of a sudden humans just became super peaceful, super industrious and innovative people? please attempt to provide a decent alternate theory.
