they would sometimes get separated from the rest of the group for a couple months stuck in caves to wait out winter
No one called bullshit on this? They got separated on a hunting trip and never bothered to make it back to their shelters, where all their food and firewood was? What did they eat all winter, snow?
Being the hunters of the group, they'd be the ones with most of the food on them. Since they were out to get food in the first place when the snow started. A large hunting party generally gets kills (ranging from small to large game) immediately, but will still often spend additional days in order to be able to bring back more meat for the Winter. So any large hunting party that is any distance from home will be loaded with meat.
Meat that will spoil without preservation, and wouldn't sustain a group for months. The lean game one might encounter in winter is edible, but even that can lead to starvation. See Christopher McCandless.
I assume the caves in question are the ones in Lascaux, France, which is in the south and has mild winters. There's no wild snowstorm coming in and preventing the group from walking home. That kind of thing happens in movies. If, however, the region was prone to that, the hunting party would be well aware of the season and signs of an incoming blizzard and wouldn't risk death that late in the season. Men would be far more valuable at home, defending the women, children and elderly from other groups and threats.
"Cavemen" weren't dragging their knuckles on the ground and banging rocks together, as the 'academics' who clearly never spent any time outdoors would have people believe.
Wow, you perhaps might want to ease up on being the lecturer until you learn a little bit more about, well, everything.
Meat preservation techniques have existed longer than written language. We can make jerky, for example. Also, this is in Winter, remember we were hunting for Winter, and they have access to ice. A large hunting party in a primitive hunter-gatherer group could bring back enough meat to last months. Also, red meat from your supermarket has been aged, or else it would be tougher and less tasty, meat lasts quite a while if you hang it in a cool dark place. Also, France in the Ice Age was considerably colder than it is now, considering that it contained plenty of glaciers.
Why don't you know these things? Are you very young, a city fag, or just a retard? You really ought to hold back on lecturing people from your place of ignorance, it makes you look even more stupid than you might actually be.

Well where do you think the "experts" got the idea from?
