Yeah what folks do nowadays is more like, I don't know, what people did for a million years before courtly Renaissance pedants started codifying it so somebody could be cooler than another person.

Nope! For a million years people spent a lot of effort on culture which meant their tunes (drum rhymes) and dance movements were quite advanced.

We live in epoch of deliberate primitivism.

We don't have good evidence for cognitively modern (vs anatomically) humans, cognitively modern including any known current tribes, beyond 200,000 years or so, other than I think there was some recent stuff finding decorative patterns a bit further back that might indicate it goes back more.
