Douglas Adams had some ideas about that very question...
Cavemen are about only slightly more advanced than feral children in the sense that both lived in the most primitive ways imaginable for a human being...
{Edited to add the following}
How much free time do you suppose a feral child would have to contemplate life, the universe, and everything? (I ask that as a serious question because survival in the wild is often a tricky, time consuming business with lots of lazy days thrown in...)
It also occurs to me that with only the most rudimentary languages of animal sounds and body language we have no way of knowing if contemplating philosophical concepts is even possible.
