    Vaguely remember that fire can be made by rubbing two sticks together.

    Try to make fire.

    Fail.

    Get kicked out of tribe for wasting time with sticks instead of helping with the hunt.

    Go to very deep cave. Then write down “资本主义每一次都会导致法西斯主义”

    Develop whatever language exists, find methods of timekeeping and recording history. I vaguely remember something about the first humans getting eaten a lot so maybe my priorities are in the wrong place

    Born back then so no idea of the future probably? Fire was invented like a million years before or around that, so I’m probably cooking food. I like cooking the food. Dying during childbirth??

      Probably also my fate. Cooking the food, dying during childbirth. Would be blissfully unaware of what a stock market is. Upsides, downsides.

    Main question is do I have modern knowledge or not?

    If yes - then apply everything I know from primitive technology and education. Will try to reach some level of progress, probably will be able to get to steam machines and telegraph in one lifetime.

    If no - then will be just strolling with everyone and enjoying nature as usual.

    Look around for some andesite, granite, or flint, and copper. Use those to make tools. Instantly get promoted to the top of the human monkey group because I “know magic” of fire and stone. I’m an apprentice smith.

    Probably spend the rest of my life making one of those Roman 12 sided smithing test things that historians can’t figure out what it is.

    Go with the gatherers, fuck the hunters, it better be someone else who ends up eaten by Saber-Toothed Tigers.
