Let's say the newborn isn't latching on to their mother's breast, what did our ancestors used to do 30 thousand, 40 thousand years ago to combat the problem? Also, given that women don't produce a lot of milk, how did the human race evolve this way?

Nearly all newborns have a difficult time with latching on. This is why they lose some weight in the first few days of life, along with losing placenta water they drank during developing. Usually after a week, the baby is strong enough to latch on to a nipple and begins the process growing. So to answer your question, probably they only rely on their mother's milk and if they didn't adapt to it, they'd die.
