From atop the lofty heights of the food chain, Atlatl Bob educates and entertains in this student film about the weapon all of our ancestors used: the Atlatl. Three atler egos collide in this professionally shot and edited short.
it seems that many of the people who have commented on this video don't understand how Professor Perkins' is communicating. in the description it says "three [alter] egos collide" ...so some of the things he says are coming from different points of view.
oh god this guy is a libertarian madman, at least he sounds like one. if he hates the bow and arrow and all that was spawned by the invention thereof, THEN DONT FUCKING USE MATHEMATICS! cos that did not exist in those times when we were "at balance" with nature.
@MrDocProfHe especially if you think that roman pila had soft blades that would render shields practically useless... atlatl doesnt have the weight to do this.
lol this is hilarious

The Roman army and their "spears" would have crushed any society that had only atlatls to fight them with.

To say that we didn't need spears because there heavy and useless is one of the most ignorant things I have ever heard.
