    I’d probably be something of a builder/ “engineer.”

    I’m not actually an engineer, but I have a knack for utilizing what I have around me or simple enough objects to serve other goals. I suppose I’m what people used to call a Macgyver or “mechanically inclined.”

        Definitely some kind of stone bulwark at the cave entrance to keep out the bears and prehistoric cheetahs.

          I was taught they never actually lived in caves, by an angry frenchman when I visited caves in France. The car sized bears did hibernate there though (and people did paintings in the caves).

        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.
