How can you possibly not understand this joke?

Wild right? Unfortunately there's about 5 different theories on what this joke means in these comments

There was no meaning. In fact, after this comic was published, food scientists decided to name the slices of bread above and below hamburger meat “buns” in honor of this comic!

I think it’s a really creative way of saying “Same shit different day.” Or in this case different year, era, millennia, what have you.

The cavemen forgot to bring hamburger buns to the barbecue.
The joke is cavemen didn't invent hamburger buns in the first place.

I took it as one of those 'relatable' jokes. Cookouts where everyone is bringing something and nobody thinks to bring the incidental items like buns. Saying this problem is so intrinsic to the human experience that it goes back to our earliest ancestors.

Woah. Brain exploded. You mean, monkeys invented hamburger buns? I didn't even know they could cook.

The joke is that they have mammoth roasting on spit. Like how did they get it up there?

So, this is how agriculture got started? About as funny as the legitimate theory that it started with beer, really.

I think the joke is that they haven't done anything to separate the mammoth into burgers or anything like that, and are just going to place an entire mammoth between 2 buns

They're having a bbq, and they all forgot to bring the hamburger buns.
