    I get that, but I don’t get the joke. Is the joke that after bows were invented, people started using them?

      The joke is that the format of this is normally

      • Thing began in X
      • People in X - 1

      So when you first see it you’re like “haha, but wait that’s a bow…” then you remember “ah yes, it’s BC”
