I’m looking for fiction stories set in caveman times. Not post-apocalyptic stories or nomads away from civilization stories mind you, but stories where there is no civilization yet. I’ll take “historical fiction” (if that applies here) or more fantastical settings as long as they have the right vibe.
I’ve always been somewhat fascinated by the Paleolithic. We spent most of our history living as hunter-gatherers, with modern civilization a small blip by comparison, but it doesn’t show up in storytelling that often.

"A Story," by John V. Marsch, the second story in The Fifth Head of Cerberus. technically it concerns aliens (but they're essentially human) and has some other scifi elements, but it's essentially a story about pre-civilized cavemen and their understanding and experience of the world. i wasn't crazy about it but it sounds like you'd like it. if you do like it make sure to read the rest of the book, especially the eponymous novella, because it's great
