Only western civilizations seperated the two, because their spears were too heavy and made of iron and hard-wood, so they couldn't be thrown far. Incidentally western civilisations dominated the world for millenia, i wonder why. Lol yes, however I doubt that spears and Javelins made much of a difference. It was other things that really put them on top. ;) The point is spear is really good at being a spear and javelin is really good at being a javelin, a hybrid is not very good at being either of those things, it is this specialization and getting every thing to work as best as it could for its intended purposse that got western civilization on top.
