Did they just find salt on the ground and lick it? Did they drink animal blood? Did they drink ocean water (I hope not)?
I’ve always wondered this since I was a little kid.

The most common source of protein for hunter-gatherer societies, barring geographical difficulties, was actually from fishing. Most communities were near bodies of water, whether rivers or the sea. Access to salt is therefore not too difficult. Also, hunter-gatherer societies moved frequently and interacted and traded with other groups, and that would include salt. This would be for the tribes that hunted and migrated with animal herds on the Eurasian steppe.
