Spears have been found that were identified as "projectiles" that H. sapiens would use to hunt, but I didn't mean to suggest that the only weapons they would have used were spears. In fact, they probably were only rarely used, because throwing spears would be difficult to make and might be easily broken. I phrased it pretty poorly, it seems. Apologies for the mix-up.

Anyway, your sling theory is very interesting. Quite a plausible idea too, when you think about it. Certainly better than the "This is where they kept their 400 stone axes." line of thinking.
