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

I'd be a good forager, gatherer and tracker. I have a knack for identifying plants and animals and spotting signs of their presence. I'm sure with a bit of training I could become decent at trapping too but I've never done that.
I'd also be good at art, be that cave wall painting or figurine sculpting/carving.

Being that person providing a better method halfway through a process. A cave person standing on top of another to cave art the ceiling? Halfway through I go "...You know you coulda just grabbed the log from outside, leaned it against the wall and climbed it". Someone halfway through whittling a bowl? "Oh, yeah, I saw some coconuts on the beach they'd be perfect".
I have the great hobby of Looking At Random Things, but the bad habit of assuming everyone else saw those things too so they must be doing what they're doing for a reason lol. That all said I'm sure I'd be dead from dysentery within a week or smtg, they wouldn't have to suffer me long.

Reaching things on top of the fridge would be my special skill. I hope they'd create a special government position just for people like me.

Cave paintings, since I'm an artist!
Also probably building tools and things since I enjoy building stuff in general -
Storytelling & oral sex.
But not simultaneously.

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.

am i an expert ? no.
am I pretty good at it. I'd say yes. what i haven't done I have seen done enough times I should be able to get it to work.
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.

Been watching primitive technology huh?
I mean, I have, but I saw this long before he started trying to smelt Iron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuCnZClWwpQ

Storytelling & oral sex.
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.
