Recreational drug use can be traced to before written history. Bartering also existed then. I’d be a drug dealer.
Fun fact: Barter only seems to occur in human societies when a. markets were previously established b. those markets collapse. Check out David Graber’s ‘Debt: first 5000 yrs’ for more info. Most societies are debt based- as in people just do things for each other but keep basic accounts in there heads. Eg. You paid for dinner out last month, i’ll pay this month(doesn’t really matter how much was spent, the exactness isn’t very important) Or, my grandma makes the coolest knit socks, I’m gonna ask her to make some for me and then shes gonna have me do some yard work when i visit later.
You reckon the stuff back then was potent enough that people would buy it?
P sure psilo hasn’t really changed

But not simultaneously.

Poison Sommelier.
With or without my current knowledge?
Because I’m pretty sure I could smelt Iron with what I know, and a year or two of experimentation. So the answer would be “ending the stone age”.
Without? I dunno, maybe building traps and snares.
I don’t even know what smelting
meantmeans. Can we be cave-friends? I’m good at sharpening knives.
making fire.
You good at making fires in the present?
am i an expert ? no.
am I pretty good at it. I’d say yes. what i haven’t done I have seen done enough times I should be able to get it to work.
Dying
I’m pretty good at thinking outside the box and innovating, so I’d probably just die.
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.
Just by knowing how to wash my hands, medicine. Up until 20th century.
Dying
The only correct answer.
I wouldn’t survive long with my poor eyesight. Maybe I’d create tools or something. Love tinkering.
This, anyone with strong glasses would be disabled in the stone age, lol. Needed some surgery before? You’d be dead. Ever broke a bone? Likely dead.
I went through my whole (living) family tree once and I’m pretty sure none of us would have survived, including me.
Yeah loooooots of people wouldn’t survive
Either making elaborate traps and contraptions out of sticks and stones.
Or brain surgery.
Hey, maybe you’ll be the most successful neolithic brain surgeon and only kill half your patients
You’d be the shaman putting holes into heads to cure headaches
