What task would you excel in if you lived in the Stone Age?
-
Foraging for plants.
pretty useful skill, even now

Everyone alive right now must have ancestors who very literally did live & survive though the stone age and the ages before and after that. Wish I knew what my ancestors did to survive stone age, or better still if I could like watch them in a time lapse video. I guess I might have run away from stone lifting to go be a shepherd or something.

Protecting the womenfolk while the other menfolk are out hunting
Uhhuh - what were you doing in my wife's cave there

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.
Tell me you work in middle management

The hard part about a simple bicycle isn't actually the bicycle, it's smooth road. If you don't have that you have to invent the mountainbike and that one's not even a 100 years old.
becoming a rome weirdo not for any of the usual reasons, but because someone's gotta build the damn roads

the town (whatever the stone age word for flintstones car was)

Poison Sommelier.

looking like that...most likely not a Don Juan. so hunting and fishing, i could scare anything to death...
If you could figure out how to make soap from fat, you could be the clean one. Supposedly that helped the Vikings take the ladies home.

If I had my current knowledge, low-level iron forging, agriculture, and architecture (cisterns, wells, deep food storage) and very rudimentary medicine because the wife is obsessed with various herbs that are used to make our modern medicine
If I was starting from scratch, probably just be decent at hunting because I have good hand eye coordination and maybe tracking

I'm reasonably good at surviving pregnancy and childbirth, and nursing. Think all my other skills are only useful after the agricultural revolution.
-
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.
Been watching primitive technology huh?

Absolutely nothing lol. I do tech support for a living and work on cars as a hobby.
Maybe you could build a wooden bicycle.

Probably tool making.
It would take time to get back into it, but I was turning out decent knives, spear points, and arrowheads for a while there. Nothing that would blow anyone's mind as art, but pretty enough and usable.
One of those things I did just because I wanted to see if I could, and it turned out to be really relaxing and enjoyable. Arthritis took the enjoyable and relaxing part away, so I stopped, but on a survival level, I could get the job done well enough to make up for being a bottom tier hunter.

I can make soap from fats and lye (from wood ash). Getting the right balance of fats/lye would be tricky; I've never used wood ash so I'd need some time to work out the right formula. But, theoretically, I could make handmade soap for everyone.

Wololooo

So, what would you "build"?
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
