In certain ways it never really existed, I suppose. There were a huge variety of living practives in pre-historic cultures, and a huge variety of ways that these cultures thought about themselves.
Still, the question itself still suggests that there are certain trends in history we can point to. But they don't prove much help either. Do we mean the majority of the population in starvation? Even the Western world, that existed in the 19th century.

there is no such era as recorded by the more sophisitcated anthropologists!!what you perhaps are illuding to is the neanderthal and cro-magnon periods,which in and of themselves denote two distinct and overlapping cultural and physiological groupings ,the two of which populations may or may not have merged to form modern man!!!
