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!

Foraging for plants.

obsessing over plants and accidentally dooming the world with agriculture

Time travel, evidently.

Everyone alive right now must have ancestors who very literally did live & survive though the stone age and the ages before and after that. Wish I knew what my ancestors did to survive stone age, or better still if I could like watch them in a time lapse video. I guess I might have run away from stone lifting to go be a shepherd or something.

Fucking, for sure

Butchering, I live on a farm and butcher sheep/lamb and chicken is second nature to me ( started when I was 12 )

I can make soap from fats and lye (from wood ash). Getting the right balance of fats/lye would be tricky; I've never used wood ash so I'd need some time to work out the right formula. But, theoretically, I could make handmade soap for everyone.

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

Bronze peddler. "Hello, have you heard of bronze? Just attach it to your axe instead of stone. No more annoying stone chopping! And look, it's shiny!"

i'm a fairly deft hand at pottery. i'm also decent at fiber crafts. depends when and where during the stone age, of course, that's a pretty big expanse. if i'm really lucky, i'd be in one of the many cultures with special spiritual roles for trans folks. i've also got good rote memorization skills, so i can help with oral history.

Engineering and chemistry. You know, sharpening knives/arrows and distilling seawater into salt for food preservation.

Protecting the womenfolk while the other menfolk are out hunting

Reaching things on top of the fridge would be my special skill. I hope they'd create a special government position just for people like me.

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

Cave wall art. Carving trinkets and talismans. Might branch out into making spear tips, arrowheads, axes, stuff like that.

Breeding

Being that person providing a better method halfway through a process. A cave person standing on top of another to cave art the ceiling? Halfway through I go "...You know you coulda just grabbed the log from outside, leaned it against the wall and climbed it". Someone halfway through whittling a bowl? "Oh, yeah, I saw some coconuts on the beach they'd be perfect".

I have the great hobby of Looking At Random Things, but the bad habit of assuming everyone else saw those things too so they must be doing what they're doing for a reason lol. That all said I'm sure I'd be dead from dysentery within a week or smtg, they wouldn't have to suffer me long.

Criticizing people about their hair styles

I would introduce them to scrumpy, then teach them to grow apples so we can make more.

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.

hoardlng stones

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.

Ironically, brute force. I would be great at hunting too!
