If you add Lizard and Spock, the game is still current tied.

Strangely enough, Lizard predates Rock significantly but took a long time to be considered competitively fair - around the time Spock was invented.

Lizard predates rock

Sorry what? Rocks were formed by the cooling of planetary bodies during their creation (such as the earth). Pretty sure there were no lizards around at that point in the early solar system.

Contrary to popular belief, most early hydrogen-based supernovas produced not heavy atoms that would later form rocky bodies, but actually spewed forth trillions of geckos. Geologist don't want you to know this because they consider it really weird, which is why you wont read of it in the science books.

Also lizard loses to both rock and scissors, so it was completely unviable until the invention of paper, and it's only balanced when Spock is born.
