Our ancient ancestors, at some point in the evolution of prehistoric technologies, invented the thruster (see online: atlatl), consisting of a lever that tripled the power and range of a spear. Thanks to it it was possible to kill both large herbivores and mighty predators from a distance: our species instantly became a formidable competitor at the top of the food chain. Many myths present both in tribal societies and in our industrialized society seem to celebrate this ancestral moment in which man freed himself from what was the invincible power of predatory beasts.
Homo sapiens, in its subsequent evolution, created weapons of unimaginable power capable of hitting any point on the planet in a matter of minutes and with extreme precision, something that only the gods once could do, like Jupiter with its lightning bolts. .
