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
Dying from a decease.
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.
I'd be the hairless monkey that stays up all night and talks to plants
Digging holes with a shovel. I'm good at that.
Whittling. Drawing.
Meditation.
dying
I feel like I could get flintknapping down pretty well.
tool making most likely. also fire keeping, and cooking.
Ironically, brute force. I would be great at hunting too!
Username checks out
Our ancestors measured time to keep track of the breeding seasons of their prey as to not exterminate the local populations... so most likely for that
looking like that...most likely not a Don Juan. so hunting and fishing, i could scare anything to death...
Clan rock stacker.
test plant on grug before eating
I'm reasonably good at surviving pregnancy and childbirth, and nursing. Think all my other skills are only useful after the agricultural revolution.
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.
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.
I can imagine you making a rock hammer, and having to sit there and justify to people why the end has that weird flange. "It's for pulling things out!"
Right, come to think of it, I definitely would be the weird guy that doesn't understand how the community works. I couldn't speak their language, wouldn't know their common practices and hierarchy.
I'd likely go (be exiled) on my own lonely journey (aaand thus quickly die).
Engineering and chemistry. You know, sharpening knives/arrows and distilling seawater into salt for food preservation.
Hitting people with a cudgel
Counting and therefore distributing spoils fairly. I would become a well-loved chief and would probably get laid more than I currently do, although the hairy partners may not be of my liking.
eh beauty is relative and you'd get used to it. It sounds like you'd be the village sandwich maker, and yes I can imagine that being a very prestigious position
Not being on the internet
min-maxxing my sticks
Make booze
Wololooo
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.
