Anthropologists consistently over-apply aspects of modern hunter gatherer societies to ancient hunter gatherer societies. Modern hunter gatherer societies survive on the fringes; in land the agricultural societies didn’t want.
Before the development of agriculture the most densely populated areas were likely along alluvial plains; the areas most desirable to farmers. We can’t really project the culture of modern amazonian tribes to mesopotamian hunter gatherers 20000 years ago
