Hi Ralf; nice to see you again. I know what you mean about a family tree of bows; but I've never seen such a thing. You might try contacting Mike Loades, the author, to see if he has any ideas on the subject...

That's really, really well done! Now I wonder who composed that article. That's as close to "family tree" of composite bow development as I think we'll ever find.

. . . more on the Family Tree . . .

. . . I believe that the domestication of horses closely parallels that of the composite bow . . .
