Why didn’t Stone age man go to the moon?

This is not such a silly question as it might appear. If you were to take the average Stone Age man and put him, or her, against their modern day equivalent there is not much difference. Same size head, same size brain, etc etc.
Given this is the case, and given that everything that modern man used to reach the moon came somehow out of the ground, and was there in the Stone age as it is today, there is no reason why it could not have been done.
The difference between now and then is that Stone age man was working from a low level base of knowledge and experience whereas today man is able to build on the accumulated knowledge of the ages.
The question is: where can man go from here? If we can use the same raw materials to achieve something our ancestors could not even think of doing, what might we do next?
