People are people and the mind itself probably hasn’t changed too terribly much. I’d think that they could’ve used terrain, coordination, confusion, and maybe fire to corner and kill damned near anything. If food is the biggest problem to solve and mammals live nearby, that problem can be solved.

Yep. The conservatives would have organized a group, formulated a plan, utilized a chain of command and each person would have been responsible for his role in the attack on the lion.

The liberals would have tried to appease the lion by offering it, oh, probably a helpless child.

I wholeheartedly agree. John Anthony West, the water-erosion-Sphinx guy, joked that there’s “a spinoff of Darwinian theory, that there’s a progress from stupid cave men to smart old us with our hydrogen bombs and striped toothpaste.” Too bad JAW went around the bend during the WoT.
