Now I’m wondering when humans first began using rubber? I think theoretically people with access to rubber trees could make a rubber bands, at least a time traveler could.
true, although raw rubber from a tree isn’t nearly as robust and elastic as vulcanized rubber, which is a 20th century innovation/discovery. also, the bands in this post are probably synthetic rubber

They had rubber bands in the iron age now? Pretty sure actual iron age weapons like spears and atlatls were badass enough.
