Before civilization it was just important to be up in time - you needed to wake up in time to use what daylight hours you had. The specific time of the day wasn't as important - sure, you needed to know to some degree how late it was to plan your day, but before civilization there was simply almost no need to meet someone at a specific time when people were living in small tribes.

And there definitely is some sense of time, although it might be very subjective. In my every day life I have trained to keep track of time in my head and I can usually estimate it within 15-30 minutes.
