  No, many people can't throw things with any accuracy because they've never tried to do it. Most can learn to throw things with decent accuracy and adequate force if they do a few practice throws and actually try. Throwing things with force and accuracy has never been useful for most people because most people aren't and weren't javelin throwing warriors or hunters.

  Well, it's always useful to be able to throw a pizza with accuracy and force - that way you don't have to worry about the toppings falling off! >

  If you can throw, try throwing with your non dominant hand to understand this. >
  
  When I was in high school we had an exchange student from the Netherlands who was a really good athlete. Great at soccer, fast runner, nimble and just generally athletic. We were tossing a football though and his attempts to throw the thing were hilarious. He didn’t grow up throwing it like the rest of us and learning it for the first time as a teenager was incredibly difficult. Some skills have to be learned early in life. >
  
  I bet he out fucked and outsmoked all of you though like "I'll spiral your girl on zis dick" While blowing out weed smoke in the image of him fuckin your bitch. I'm drunk but that'd be hilarious lol >

  I can totally bean him in the nads. Just saying. >
  
  Fun fact, this was one of the first human skills, we were throwing rocks way before fire, way before walking >
  
  It’s probably one of the major reasons we got here. We’re weaklings. No claws, no fangs, slow runners, how did we manage to avoid being eaten by tigers? It’s easy, if you can pose a credible threat from twenty yards away then the tiger can’t get into striking distance. You can hit him long before he can hit you. And you have friends who also have rocks. And later on you might even have dogs who let everyone know the tiger was there long before it was a problem. The tiger cannot neutralize all those threats. He could eat you but he would definitely take some damage on his way in, and there are easier targets. 
  Being able to injure him from a distance changes the game completely. Humans ain’t tasty enough to be worth all that noise. Thanks to this, here we are. >
  
  Yup, that and our ability to distance run/hunt that we developed made us pretty badass >
  
  I heard a theory the other day that the reason dogs were the first domesticated animals is because of the similarities in hunting style, which is basically the distance running.
