  • I would invent God so others would do all the hunting and gathering for me while I partied in the cave basement drawing on the walls.

  • 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.

  • Cavernbook: a cavern where everyone chisel his/her photo and his/her thoughts

    • I'm guessing "chisel thoughts" is more akin to painting than writing. I like the idea though, very Lascaux

  • 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 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.
