    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

    Dying from allergies & asthma.

    While still living, the tribe could deploy me as an animal detector: place me at the front of hunting parties, and the moment I start sneezing & wheezing, they know they’ve got prey nearby.

    I would excel in the use of the internet and computers as I would be the only one with knowledge about it. I would also be the only one who knows how to drive a car.

        I just have a really good sense of direction and memory of places and paths.

        Usually if I went somewhere even only once, even a year later I can recall how to get there again

    Oh! I’m actually somewhat decent with some useful things. I got sent to a wilderness school for fuck up kids when I was a teen. So I know how to, and have applied a lot of survival stuff.

    I know how to effectively make a somewhat permanent shelter. I can make and use a bow drill to make fire, and along the same principal but with much more effort and time I could make fire with hand drill or fire plough techniques. I know how to make basic traps. I can make cordage, and have very, very very basic tracking skills. I know some edible and toxic plants in my area (not exhaustive by any means). I know how to clean and dress game. There’s a lot of other stuff, but those popped into my head immediately.

    It’s been a long time since I’ve done all this, but the knowledge and know-how is all there. I’d actually be a decent person to have around!

    I think excel would be good software for managing hunter rotations, supplies and stone inventory.

    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

    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’m pretty good at thinking outside the box and innovating, so I’d probably just die.

    Dogs seem to like me so maybe I’d be one of the first to domesticate dogs. I’d probably just live with dogs.
