"The arrow as symbol must have begun in extreme literalness."

"As a graphic element, it shows up in a few 18th-century diagrams, historians tell us, but with little detail. But its use must go back to when some putative primitive ancestor of ours decided draw an arrow on the ground directing his fellow hominids toward prey or cave. Surely there is no sign more basic except perhaps the image of the hand with pointing finger."

A short excerpt from an intriguing article on the symbol titled "Setting Sights on the Arrow," by Phil Patton at www.aiga.org
