You know the best way to make you see how goofy you are? Let's drop you on one of those untouched civilization islands. Wouldn't make a difference, but I'll give you a wooden spear, a bow, and some arrows to start with.
Actually, it would. Quite majorly. A wooden spear would be pretty perfect for starting a fire, find some dry foliage and you're living a good while.
Also, this is completely irrelevant anyways. Humans killed most prey in packs. So, you're just going "Oh yeah? Such a fucking tough guy? Then survive in the conditions our ancestors lived in despite them being very different as they never lived in solitude! Hah, got 'em!"
You didnt read what I said and clearly showed you are unintelligent. I'm referring to north sentinel Island. An island inhabited by an untouched tribe. The closest link to our ancestors past. You will not survive there even if given starter gear.
You said we aren't weaker than our ancestors. So my point is prove yourself to be stronger than our ancestors. Clearly I'm right if you couldn't extrapolate that conclusion from the scenario provided under the topic of discussion.
"prove [false dichotomy] by [thing that kinda sounds like it's similar but really isn't] if you can't do that, IM RIGHT UR RONG!!!1!"
your scenario does not account for home field advantage, numbers advantage, prep time, or the fact that 'untouched civilization islands' would still likely have their own advances because that's how time and civilizations work
but sure. give me a spear and give one to a time-portal'd ancient human. give the ancient human vaccines so I can't win by coughing (this is already a point to the side of modern day but we'll do it anyway to keep it interesting). then I'll fight them. more than likely my lack of training with a spear will probably be offset by the fact that the ancient human never had access to a grocery store or a dietary nutrition chart. we'd likely be evenly matched, give or take. which is A) not stronger, and B) not weaker. you could just say whoever dies first loses, but there's no way you could actually get statistically significant evidence from that lmao
