So... Bob.

I actually like Bob. He seems really cool. Though he kind of looks a little, uh, "dopey", I guess you can expect that from a caveman.

The reason why his name is Bob is for this reason: Sly was talking to him, asking his name and whatnot, and Bob just spurted out a bunch of gibberish. One of the syllables sounded like "Bob," so that's what they decided to call him.

The way the gang went back to the prehistoric ages is because the gang were in peril at the end of Episode 2: Go West Young Raccoon, so Bentley just grabbed whatever he could and threw it into the time machine. It just happened to be a bone necklace.

So I guess, technically, Bob is Sly's first known ancestor, before even Slytunkhamen Cooper II.
