    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??

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

    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.

    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

    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.

        Having access to the raw materials is the hard part, depending on where you are. If the place your or any other tribes migrates around lacks the raw rocks, you’re shit outta luck.

        Copper and tin are relatively easy to work, as you can melt the metal into an earthen or sand mold. A furnace that can melt it isn’t too hard to create. From that to a steam engine isn’t that big of a jump, the Greeks figured that out but never thought about making it do labor.

        Another hurdle is surviving long enough, as you wouldn’t have access to sanitation or medicine.

    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.

    I’m not sure that you meant born because everyone is taking it too literally and it doesn’t help make a decent question.

    Document everything I can think of for future people and put it in a place that someone will find out but is not that open to be degradation.

    I know how impossible this sounds.
