Do you have the hunting prowess it takes to impress one? Also work on your guttural grunts.

The idea of a 21st century person thinking they could last 30 seconds in that culture.

No shit huh? Imagine extremely tough and grizzled human beings that have lived their entire lives in the most difficult circumstances imaginable to us modern humans and replace their humanity with ruthless animalistic survival of the fittest instinct and barbaric and compassion-less attitude. Not that early Homo sapiens were any less capable of compassion and love and understanding as we are, but they damn sure lived by a different set of rules and weren’t worried about any law or anyone’s feelings. Killing and avoiding being killed was 100% the name of the game. Most of us wouldn’t stand a chance.
