Today, we know the islands are there; why would a stone-age man assume that land masses were scattered all about the sea if he could not see them or be able to talk to someone who had seen them?
Am I to assume that a pre-historic Gilligan got lost on a summer's day?

A day fisherman was blown to the island and managed to make it back to his village?

No, H. Erection-us just kicked erectors (they're not people yet, so we'll call 'em that) out that they didn't like, put them in a boat, and let them float away...kind of a "prehistoric dumping junk into space" routine...
