What task would you excel in if you lived in the Stone Age?
-
I'd probably be something of a builder/ "engineer."
I'm not actually an engineer, but I have a knack for utilizing what I have around me or simple enough objects to serve other goals. I suppose I'm what people used to call a Macgyver or "mechanically inclined."
I have this but for bicycles and ropes exclusively. First one is out, so I'm rope guy I guess

I'm good with plants, I'm observant, I like stargazing, I'm a good de-escalator. I'd probably an elder and end up doing some type of weather forecasting.

Cave wall art. Carving trinkets and talismans. Might branch out into making spear tips, arrowheads, axes, stuff like that.

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.

Recreational drug use can be traced to before written history. Bartering also existed then. I'd be a drug dealer.
Fun fact: Barter only seems to occur in human societies when a. markets were previously established b. those markets collapse. Check out David Graber's 'Debt: first 5000 yrs' for more info. Most societies are debt based- as in people just do things for each other but keep basic accounts in there heads. Eg. You paid for dinner out last month, i'll pay this month(doesn't really matter how much was spent, the exactness isn't very important) Or, my grandma makes the coolest knit socks, I'm gonna ask her to make some for me and then shes gonna have me do some yard work when i visit later.

wouldn't that get you killed very fast?
someone's gotta be up at night, tho! Lots of theories around generational sleep patterns and teen-elderly sleep schedules leave very little time where someone isn't just normally awake- teens naturally stay up late and prefer to sleep late, old folks naturally wake up early and sleep early.

I know how to make rope, among other things, as an eagle scout, and I have some experience with atatl so, probably dying of fever at 14.
