Boomerangs and throw sticks have been multipurpose tools for aborigines for thousands of years. Throw sticks are great for hunting creatures like emus and lizards. Boomerangs can be used for hunting small birds and bats but are considered more of a recreational tool for most people in the modern world.

Some of the Egyptian pharaohs were buried with boomerangs and throw sticks in the pyramids. They were comparable to the bow and arrow in many ancient cultures. The boomerang was used primarily to hunt birds in the marshes of the Nile Delta. Scenes of tomb owners, about to hurl the weapon, were part of the artists' repertoire as early as the Old Kingdom (2700-2150 B.C.)

Boomerangs were used on virtually all inhabited continents in ancient times. An Iron Age wooden boomerang has been found in the Netherlands, for example, and a possible boomerang from mammoth bone has been found in Austria from the Upper Paleolithic period, over 10,000 years ago.
