      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”
