"These peoples' stone tools were far more advanced than the stone tools found on prehistoric sites, so Professor Diamond thinks it unlikely that prehistoric hunters could have enjoyed a much higher success rate than present day hunter-gatherer tribes."

That is such a stupid observation. When I was a kid I was a better shot with a slingshot than most adults with high powered rifles. It all boils down to the person handling the weapon. This might also explain why these people still have not advanced past the sorry state they find themselves in today.
