What task would you excel in if you lived in the Stone Age?

Finding fruit trees. Hunting would be my weak point.

I would introduce them to scrumpy, then teach them to grow apples so we can make more.

There is a whole world of romance novels in this setting.
Robert Sawyer has a series of science fiction books where there's a parallel universe in which neanderthals ended up ruling the earth instead of modern day humans.
It's been a while since I read them but the fact that you comment itched that part of my brain tells me there might have been a steamy parallel universe crossover scene or two
I need to start reading again

With or without my current knowledge?
Because I'm pretty sure I could smelt Iron with what I know, and a year or two of experimentation. So the answer would be "ending the stone age".
Without? I dunno, maybe building traps and snares.
I don't even know what smelting
meantmeans. Can we be cave-friends? I'm good at sharpening knives. -

I'm a natural at shooting a traditional bow.
I know every edible plant in my area, and some that get you high.
I can find north without a compass, day and night.
I can make a fire from things I can gather in the woods.
I know how to safely fell a tree, split logs and build a shelter with hand tools.
I know how to act around most predators and have experience handling a spear.I think I'd do reasonably well.
Sometimes I wish I was born in the stone age. My ADHD is completely gone whenever I'm in the wild. -
That’s just excel being excel.
It Excels at formatting.

Great! I got a random Excel question. Sometimes when I pull reports at work the format for the price changes. Instead of showing the $ and the correct amount of spaces after the cent sign like .00, it has no $ and many digits after the cent sign like .000000000000000.
Now when I try to change the cell format back to currency, accounting, text, or anything it keeps the same format and amount of digital after the cent sign. The work around I found is to open up a different Excel doc type it in the correct format and then copy and paste over the incorrect formatted cell.
Do you can a better answer or did I explain horribly and your as confused as me when I try to fix Excel?
Yea when I said that I excel at Excel I was somewhat exaggerating, much as I have at every job interview I've ever had. It's become something of a reflex these days. But as someone else has said I think that particular issue is just down to Excel being crap.

Wash the wound with soapy water, apply cloth that has been boiled. Yeah that should have a better survival rate than most of human history.
Soap is animal fat and what in a survival situation?

Sometimes I wish I was born in the stone age. My ADHD is completely gone whenever I'm in the wild.I started reading and was like "okay, sure buddy" then I remembered I have developed a lot of the same skills, including tracking wildlife.
And then I remembered the time I learned to identify clay deposits and to separate out the clay so I could build stuff with it.
So I thought: "wth, this is so weird! Ohh, they have ADHD too... That explains a lot".
I wasn't diagnosed at the time, when I was learning to find clay, but that should have been a sign lol

Either making elaborate traps and contraptions out of sticks and stones.
Or brain surgery.

I haven't encountered this but have you tried select the cell, going to the home ribbon tab I think, then clicking normal. Then adding the number formating you want

It could go either way

You don't think they'd hang you with your own rope?
I mean depends on how the crops looked; im sure they'd tie me for bog body purposes and toss me in the dip if the crops were bad enough and I went feverish. The gods gotta eat too after all.

I mean, I have, but I saw this long before he started trying to smelt Iron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuCnZClWwpQ
That was fascinating thank you! I watched the whole thing. There's a ton of work those people put into making their iron. Truly a community effort
