Serious post though. I wonder if arrows were used before pointers or vice-versa.
"Arrows" meaning the ones shot from bows to kill people, and "pointers" meaning the ones written on signs to point you somewhere.

@windinhishair They do?

@SinlessOnslaught Yes. There is evidence of bow and arrow usage around 71,000 years ago in Africa. Writing and use of symbols only goes back about a tenth as long.

@nightjourney Do you mean they painted horses on signs or they had horses walk a path?

I imagine that murder arrows came before symbolic arrows in the evolution of stick technology.
