” some researchers have argued that such hunting didnât truly begin until about 40,000 years ago”
Idiots, maybe.

Before that, they had take-out.
(And it appears that this thread is around 400,000 years old).

Note: this topic is from . Thanks agains Red Badger, a re-ping.
The three spears, each carved from the trunk of a spruce tree, are 6 feet to more than 7 feet long. They were found with more than 10,000 animal bones, mostly from horses, including many obviously butchered... The spears were obviously made with care. After chopping down an appropriate tree and stripping off the bark and branches, the ancient hunters carved the tip at the base of the trunk, where the wood is hardest. The spears were shaped to be thickest toward the front with a long tapering tail, like modern javelins, which suggests they were meant for throwing rather than jabbing. After all that work "they're not going to throw it at a squirrel in a dark night," said Dennell, who wrote a Nature commentary on the spears. "These people were serious about hunting."

Anything carbon dated ‘pre-flood’ should be taken with a grain of salt.

You don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. The spears weren’t carbon dated, in addition, a worldwide flood wouldn’t do anything to carbon dates.

Probably the lack of a writing system and a bureaucracy was a constraint on that. ;^)
