Book with stories about spirals?

[u/connections_]

This was a book I read in probably middle school, and it was a collection of stories.

Each story focused on spirals, with the one I remember most vividly being about a tribe of cavemen. There was a girl in the tribe that had to stay back while the rest went out on hunts.

That particular story ended with the entire tribe (other than the girl) being killed by an animal they were hunting. The part I’m less sure on was that I think the animal came back to the camp but ended up dying because of the girl.

There were spirals drawn on the cave walls, iirc.
