> have you ever eaten meat without biting off a piece, ONLY cutting it up into little bits and chewing it?

Uh, pretty much every day? I'm pretty sure that's what pre-humans did, too. They butchered, cooked, and cut it up. Dentition is irrelevant.

> it'd be ridiculously hard with stone tools.

They were kept razor sharp. It would not be hard.



They cut it up into bite-sized pieces? I really doubt that. Notice only people who worry about etiquette tend to do that, and I don't think etiquette existed when we were cutting things with rocks. Perhaps chunks were sliced off, but I can't help but laugh at the thought of a Stone Age man cutting his meat into little cubes.

As a further argument, notice how most people eat a drumstick? It comes naturally.
