I guess it started out as throwing marbles. Bad on hills.

From back in the days when Hello Kitty was far more deadly. Thank goodness for evolution.

Looks like a prototype for Oddjob’s hat: Odd Job - great scene from James Bond 'Goldfinger' (1964) - YouTube

When I think “stone weapons,” 1590 is not the era that comes to mind. I was hoping for some archeological discovery that proved the Neanderthals disappeared not because they went extinct but because they just ninjaed so hard that we can no longer see them.
