That doesn't mean they aren't books "comparable" to what you're thinking of. If publishers could sell prehistoric historical fiction set that far back, it's likely that there would be readers interested in prehistoric alternate historical fiction.

Wiki has a list of alternate history fiction, which is both long and incomplete. They don't differentiate between history and pre-history. Some of the list items have way-pre-history fibs.

Setting is setting. Some settings require world-building, and others don't. Whether a setting requires the author to do research or not, world-building or not, the setting has to be self-consistent, and the novel must contain any plot-related setting information needed by readers in order to understand the story.

The concerns are still what I listed in the first paragraph of my previous response. Beyond that, the author's skill and an interesting story are what will make or break the novel.
