If not, why are they portrayed that way in pop culture? Do we know much about their languages?

Well, I think that paleolithic men didn't actually need to define a word with an article, they might have used nouns to define things. The idea of articles started later: neither Greeks nor Latins bothered to use them. They were introduced later. Actually, articles are nothing but "deformations of demonstrative adjectives" such as THAT and THIS. Ancient men didn't need that. However, we don't have detailed documentation about all that, because the homo sapiens started writing later on.

The pre- and post-flood peoples (what you call "paleolithic man") were actually taller, smarter and stronger than modern man. Those who believe in evolution want you to believe that these people were "dumb brutes" who could just grunt. This image is an insult to the human race, but it has been perpetuated in movies, TV and Geico commercials.
Immediately after the Flood, these incredibly intelligent people were faced with a devastated world. You couldn't just go to the grocery store or the hardware store for supplies. So they had to make do with what they had. It was a kind of "Gilligan's Island" situation. So, for a while, they had to use primitive tools and wear skins until they could find the ore in the mountains to make better weapons, and build looms to make fabric clothing. This period only lasted a few hundred years. Even the evolutionists admit that complex weapons appeared "suddenly" in the fossil record - a change for which they have no explanation, since they already believe that these people were just dumb brutes.
Within that few hundred year period, these people were already building the Egyptian and Mayan pyramids, and the Tower of Babel. It was at the building of the tower, just a few generations after Noah, where the common language spoken by Noah was divided into several, and they all migrated out from there.
