    Isn't that too wide a range of humans and ancestors to characterize in one group?

Yes, that's one reason why I have high standards for arguments from ethnographic analogy.

    Are you skeptical about 11 kya ancestors doing similar things? Why?

Because modern forager groups have survived for centuries on the margins of colonial states. The environment they inhabit is very different from late pleistocene humans and we should default to skepticism in the absence of other evidence.
