Probably dying at age <1.
You'd be a lot taller and probably also faster (maybe not stronger). You'd become a god-king in no time. Or be killed as a monster.
Time travel, evidently.
Is that Marjorie Trailer Greene?
I’m pretty good at thinking outside the box and innovating, so I’d probably just die.
Breeding
Dogs seem to like me so maybe I'd be one of the first to domesticate dogs. I'd probably just live with dogs.
dying
Starvation.
i'm a fairly deft hand at pottery. i'm also decent at fiber crafts. depends when and where during the stone age, of course, that's a pretty big expanse. if i'm really lucky, i'd be in one of the many cultures with special spiritual roles for trans folks. i've also got good rote memorization skills, so i can help with oral history.
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.Fucking, for sure
I would invent God so others would do all the hunting and gathering for me while I partied in the cave basement drawing on the walls.
Yelling yabadabadoo and sliding down that dinosaur
tool making most likely. also fire keeping, and cooking.
Finding fruit trees. Hunting would be my weak point.
perhaps
geometry, politics and drugs
dying
I would introduce them to scrumpy, then teach them to grow apples so we can make more.
Bronze peddler. "Hello, have you heard of bronze? Just attach it to your axe instead of stone. No more annoying stone chopping! And look, it's shiny!"
technical art and programming for video games
Dying quickly
drawing dongs everywhere
Poison Sommelier.
Dying from a decease.
obsessing over plants and accidentally dooming the world with agriculture
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.
Sleeping and eating
Hog cranking
I've got some decent smithing skills, I'd go looking for bog iron and skip the bronze age.
Butchering, I live on a farm and butcher sheep/lamb and chicken is second nature to me ( started when I was 12 )
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.
Knapping flint while fishing. And shitting under a tree. I feel like my ancestors have more in common than I thought.
min-maxxing my sticks
Hoarder. Of things that might conceivably be used one day.
You need weird rock? I got weird rock.
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.
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.
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
Criticizing people about their hair styles
test plant on grug before eating
Eating the rich—if they tried.

✍︎ arscyni.cc: modernity ∝ nature.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.
Cave wall art. Carving trinkets and talismans. Might branch out into making spear tips, arrowheads, axes, stuff like that.
I'm reasonably good at surviving pregnancy and childbirth, and nursing. Think all my other skills are only useful after the agricultural revolution.
Engineering and chemistry. You know, sharpening knives/arrows and distilling seawater into salt for food preservation.
Cave paintings, since I'm an artist! 😃 Also probably building tools and things since I enjoy building stuff in general
Being dead
Not being on the internet
hoardlng stones
Selling camping gear
I feel like I could get flintknapping down pretty well.
Wololooo
I guess I could build a cart/waggon for easier transporting the dead animals the other guys hunted. Not sure if that would be much appreciated or if I just would be the weird guy again.
Maybe a plough would be more useful.
And building/improving shelter.
I could also make a fire after failing some time I suppose.
Sloth simulator
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.
Georgia senator by the looks of the picture.
Being the cave complex idiot.
Dispensing elderly wisdom
Chef
Running away.
vee, loop up.
