Question: I would love to know, if this world were to revert back 100,000 years. What would you study or do first?

100 000 years ago humans were still very primitive living in small nomadic families of hunter-gatherers. This is commonly referred to as “the stone age” because humans had started making and using stone tools. This is also one of the last times in which humans (or Homo sapiens) weren’t the only humanoid with recognisable intelligence living on earth. Humans interacted with Neanderthals and perhaps Homo floresiensis and Homo erectus.

If I were to go back and know what I know now, I think my main thing to do would be to ingratiate myself with a Neanderthal family as my size would be an advantage and they were a bit slower than Homo sapiens. I would then start them into building permanent shelters and cultivating food (herding animals and growing crops), instead of relying of hunting and foraging. But it would be a fairly hard life.
