Evidence of early men eating fish abounds in archaeological findings around the world. It emerged however that prehistoric men in Central Africa were the first to invent modern tools such as harpoons for their fishing expedition some 90,000 years ago. The discovery points to the presence of ancient fishing culture in Central Africa. The disconnect has to do with the fishing tools that were used by these early men in large water bodies. Researchers are of the view that in the absence of those tools, early men either relied on their hands or sticks, which occasioned the invention of ways to make fishing expeditions easier.
