Correct. Walk into any supermarket. You start off in the produce section.
Almost NONE of those fruits and vegetables are the way they were 100,000 years ago. They have all been genetically selected over many generations to be bigger, jucier, more sugary, etc.
Carrots were originally white. The Dutch experimented with different colors -- white, purple, and orange. The orange ones were the most popular, so that is why we have orange carrots today.
This is how we can know that early man ate very little, if any, plant foods. There wasn't anything worth eating. And don't even talk about the amount of energy from those original foods -- not worth even talking about compared to a nice mastadon kill.

Isn't that a statement you could equally apply to virtually all meat products we eat today? I just ate a bison burger so this is on my mind at the moment!
You have to seek out sources to get meat that isn't terribly 'modified' (pork has been 'refined' in recent times to make it more 'lean', as an obvious example). But even the less 'refined' meats of today are still nothing like they were hundreds, let alone hundreds of thousands, of years ago.
Keep up the good work.
Here's something else. Fruits and vegetables have been manipulated to be basically unrecognizable: https://www.sciencealert.com/fruits-vegetables-before-domestication-photos-genetically-modified-food-natural/amp
