That reminds me of my pet peeve of stone age people always having long, scraggly unkempt hair. Do they think our ancestors could figure out fire but couldnt figure out how to take a sharp rock and hack off some hair?

I also refuse to believe they wouldn't at least finger-comb it, and maybe tie it back out of the way in very simple fashion. Humans are extremely social, I absolutely think people in ancient eras would have helped each other groom their hair. It's just way more comfortable and practical to not have it be matted and wild.

Shit animals groom their hair and the cavemen still are more intelligent than the animals

Every close relative to humans: Spends hours grooming themselves and their kin every day as a useful bonding activity.

Humans in caves with only rock tools for some reason: Shaves armpits perfectly with a stick somehow but refuses to help anyone in their pack untangle a knot in their hair.
