Cavemen also had a rigid gender roles and social hierarchy. The alpha males got the meat first, and they ate a lot of it because they're alpha and male, so by the time it was the turn of women there was often none left and they had to eat grass which is why women eat salad and vegetables
My favorite thing to describe is one of the only instances of the death penalty being used in a nomadic society we have was when a high-born prestige male just wouldn't stop hitting on other people's wives and not sharing his food, so eventually they kicked him out of the tribe, but then even the next tribe over didn't know what to do with him, but he eventually got into a fight that killed someone so the entire extant community ended up hunting him down and killing him, every person taking their turn to stab the dead body as symbolism. Like, the amount of expected reciprocity in those societies is so much more than in modern society.
It's obvious he's one of those morons who think cavemen ate meat every day.
