      I'm pretty ok at knapping flint and I'm not a terrible hunter. I'm also usually in poor health.

      So I'd probably die as a baby.

        It depends on what was needed at the time, but probably things like tools and housing. Obviously considering the time we're talking about it would be very "primitive" lol

        But if you knew what you knew now you could do a lot. Just knowing that you can bake mud to make clay. Getting running water to where you live could be a game changer. It's the key to agriculture, sanitation, etc.

        Weapons are the same. Knowing something like the bow and arrow is possible will put you way ahead of sharp sticks and rocks.

          I think a big part of this is just knowing what is possible. Not having to "chance upon" things for the first time.

            I’d be the best at powershell. Unfortunately I wouldn’t live very long.

            I find the powershell method gives me hemorrhoids, I much prefer the gentler three shells method.

              I would invent God so others would do all the hunting and gathering for me while I partied in the cave drawing on the walls.

                        Beat me to it. Mine was "storytelling and sexually gratifying the hunters in exchange for food"

                          I wouldn’t survive long with my poor eyesight. Maybe I’d create tools or something. Love tinkering.

                                          Knapping flint while fishing. And shitting under a tree. I feel like my ancestors have more in common than I thought.
