I think understand that the concept of a pointy thing on a long stick is universal, hence spears, but how did almost every culture, even isolated ones, think to develop bows and arrows? We see these from Europe to Africa to Asia to the Americas and even the Sentinelese, so what gives?

Well the running joke I heard was I wanna kill that guy with a stick but is like waaay over there. Hmmm
Eventually guy tried throwing the stick it worked but had difficulty. Eventually they tried using a stick to fling the stick, and then maybe I forgot to put something else in the middle invented a bow, a stick with rope, the rope holds the pointy stick, the curved stick bends and flung the pointy stick, eventually adding feathers for drag and a pointy rock for more painful dmg and then there.
And then long bow, and then balista and then cannons and eventually we got nukes
