Since I started on the subject of stone-age humans yesterday, continuing along those same lines today made sense to me anyway.

Surviving for one day in that era would be nearly impossible for your average modern human. Take away all our modern technology and everyday conveniences and it’s highly likely were we transplanted into the distant past, that seeing day two would be more akin to a miracle than any actual skill we may posses.

There are still critters around these days looking for skewered human as a snack, but nothing on the scale of the days gone past. Gone are the Sabre-tooth, the cave bear and sleeping in a cave without a door.

Would I remain alert at three in the morning, holding a spear and a torch while the misses made an emergency bush run in the dark? What would I drink in the morning to give me an edge against the lil fur balls in the forest before I was really awake? could I carve words into a rock with a stick? Would I have the foresight to carve a wheel in hopes of out running the kitties down hill in a race to the cave? Is that how skateboards evolved? I have questions.

Questions like: would a dire wolf make a good pet? What is a suitable substitute for TP in the days before Charmin? How does one boil water on a rock? Can flavored creamer come from a goat? Do arrows come in different calibers? Can one teach a cave bear to dance? I guess I’ll never know….
