So what do you think of the health of cave men?

Some people are saying they were in quite good health. But I don't know. They didn't really have medical records back then, and from what I've heard the under-30 mortality rate was pretty high.

evolutionary biology is fascinating...
tough environment they lived in

altruism and cooperation was one reason they survived
relatively long human childhoods and socialisation helped
obviously there were no fridges to store the kill, they shared and sharing was a form of cold storage
