Breeding
I wouldnโt survive long with my poor eyesight. Maybe Iโd 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.

technical art and programming for video games
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.
Finding fruit trees. Hunting would be my weak point.
I would excel in the use of the internet and computers as I would be the only one with knowledge about it. I would also be the only one who knows how to drive a car.
Fucking, for sure
Digging holes with a shovel. I'm good at that.
Whittling. Drawing.
Meditation.

Probably tool making.
It would take time to get back into it, but I was turning out decent knives, spear points, and arrowheads for a while there. Nothing that would blow anyone's mind as art, but pretty enough and usable.
One of those things I did just because I wanted to see if I could, and it turned out to be really relaxing and enjoyable. Arthritis took the enjoyable and relaxing part away, so I stopped, but on a survival level, I could get the job done well enough to make up for being a bottom tier hunter.
obsessing over plants and accidentally dooming the world with agriculture

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!"
Probably dying at age <1.
