I'm reasonably good at surviving pregnancy and childbirth, and nursing. Think all my other skills are only useful after the agricultural revolution.

hoardlng stones
I feel like I could get flintknapping down pretty well.
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.
I can imagine you making a rock hammer, and having to sit there and justify to people why the end has that weird flange. "It's for pulling things out!"
Right, come to think of it, I definitely would be the weird guy that doesn't understand how the community works. I couldn't speak their language, wouldn't know their common practices and hierarchy.
I'd likely go (be exiled) on my own lonely journey (aaand thus quickly die).
I'd be the hairless monkey that stays up all night and talks to plants
looking like that...most likely not a Don Juan. so hunting and fishing, i could scare anything to death...
If you could figure out how to make soap from fat, you could be the clean one. Supposedly that helped the Vikings take the ladies home.
well...most of the women we took home were slaves...if we were clean or not did not make any difference...

Knapping flint while fishing. And shitting under a tree. I feel like my ancestors have more in common than I thought.

Cave paintings, since I'm an artist! π Also probably building tools and things since I enjoy building stuff in general
Computers! Shit.

geometry, politics and drugs

Feeding the living with my body
Sleeping and eating
I'm pretty ok at knapping flint and I'm not a terrible hunter. I'm also usually in poor health.
So I'd probably die as a baby.
