Good job they didn't have Power point. They'd have all died out from starvation as they wasted hours trying to get it to do anything useful.
PRIMITIVE TOOLS found near MICROSOFT headquarters
Ten thousand years B.G (Before Gates), the primitive, grunting denizens of Redmond were already fashioning crude, unreliable tools, archaeologists say.

Not much changes
Newflash : BP 10.000
The boss of Microshaft Spearware today announced that they were introducing the new PaleoPoint 10, which, while lighter than previous spears, could be thrown further and faster than before. When criticised about the sharpness of the new Spearware and it's lack of penetration, he remarked " We are constantly working to improve our products, we are watching you while you use our Spearware and will update the products and may provide you with other points when we think it is necessary, A benefit with the new point is if it fails to penetrate the target it will at least be much farther away when it annoys a huge ravening beast, the distance will allow you to run and find a tree before you are caught."
The tribes were not impressed but alterantive Spearwares were limited and not everybody knew how to throw them.

Actually....these are weekend retreats for "Stone Age Re-enactmets"....
At the start of the current Holocene Interglacial period, the world's oceans were 440 feet below today's level. The former oceanside cities were rapidly inundated by rising seas and the riverside villages washed away when ice dams broke releasing torrents of flood waters. Humans do NOT cause climate change, and have no memory of what REAL climate change was like. Not a bad idea to brush up on your flint tool making skills....the coming Ice Age will be painful.

Storage was a problem in those days...
Just a handful of bites, and then they'd have to go and hunt some more.
After a while though, they learned the advantages of having domesticated animals, such as sheep. This meant that the time between killing and eating was a lot quicker.
History continues to repeat itself with software hungry for more Ram.
