Hunter gatherers, as in caveman days. How do you think you would get on?
Me, I'd have to find a big woolly mammoth to hunt cause I'm really short sighted.

That is too funny. I think the world would be a nicer place if people had to rely on each other and cooperate in order to survive. Today people only care about themselves and do not go out of their way to be kind. What a cold and sad world be have made. I am right up there with you and the wooly mammoth.

I'd starve within two weeks, I don't think I could kill an animal, not even if my life depended on it. I guess I could buy a book about grasses and plant life and find out what I could eat off the land. And when you guys all got big and fat from eating all the mammoths I could do a work out video and earn a pot of money from it and then reinvent the freezer and stock up on Ben and Jerry's and Quorn products again

The lazy would get weeded out pretty darned fast! We would all be so busy staying alive that the important things in life would become all that mattered and the unimportant crap of modern society would disappear.

I think that it would do our psyche good to find ourselves in a position that reduces life to a few fundamental things. Life would be simplified. Harder to maintain, but simpler to live.
I can see some positives in it!

The Human evolution has changed A LOT since the caveman days...Society and the waywe function has changed.

So we cant go back..

I'd manage fine, I'd let some other mug go and kill the wolly mamoth; then whne he's busy butchering it I'd kill him, or if he hunted with mates then I'd get together with my mates and do the same on a larger scale. come to think of it isn't that how the first kingdoms started; hell made the bronze age already. Ain't I clever! now if I can just re-invent the machine gun..........

Would probably become a vegetarian gatherer, who lives in a very hard to find cave (with a box of matches!)

It may not be all that far fetched. A nuclear exchange and the survivors amongst us will be wearing leaves and twigs, if that, and hunting and gathering food.

Become part of a group, just like any good caveman.
We would survive perfectly well, but with less luxury than is presently available.

Billions would starve! The amount of pain and suffering would be incredible. There are far too many people and far to few wild resources even if you could teach all us weak and spoiled people how to do all the things they would need to learn.
