Nah that was their time. If you gave the average group of humans 40,000 years ago and an average group of modern day humans spears and told them to hunt a polar bear, the group from the past would be much more successful.

Obviously our technology today makes it an easier task, but I'm very impressed at what our ancestors were capable of.

Look up cave bears for a treat.
