Yeah, but you're thinking about humans. We're pretty pathetic. A spear is great for us, as is a club or an axe. But for giant mantis, an axe/club isn't really that much of an upgrade. A tyranosaur doesn't need to worry about a club that much, it'll just bite. An animal with massive clubs on it's tail, made for crushing opponents, isn't going to be improved that much by giving them clubs.
Yes, humans benefit from weaponry immensly, but if you gave a t rex a club, it's still going to have a massively damaging bite.
Yes the game represents continuity, but it does so from completely varied backgrounds, showing you the possibilities out there, not limiting them to the human route.
