Reply to comment by FantasticFunKarma in Has PTSD due to trauma and/or violence affected humans for centuries or is this a more recent phenomenon? Have there always been long-term effects when an individual experiences trauma and/or violence? by shooflydont
It’s actually kind of logical when you think of it.
In the past, interpersonal violence was direct, “in your face,” close quarters violence that involved sticking a sharp pointed object into the body of a resisting person. It’s not that easy to swing a melee weapon around, particularly for long periods. Also, military bows could be quite taxing to wield as well, with draw weights above 100lb.
