Between the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods, some of the most useful human inventions were perfected, including the bow and arrow. The feathered arrow for hunting birds was invented. Most arrows used during hunting were tipped with flint or obsidian, although some had blunt wooden tips to stun birds without injuring them. The bows were made of ash and the strings were made of animal sinews. -
