    Born back then so no idea of the future probably? Fire was invented like a million years before or around that, so I’m probably cooking food. I like cooking the food. Dying during childbirth??

    Vaguely remember that fire can be made by rubbing two sticks together.

    Try to make fire.

    Fail.

    Get kicked out of tribe for wasting time with sticks instead of helping with the hunt.

    Main question is do I have modern knowledge or not?

    If yes - then apply everything I know from primitive technology and education. Will try to reach some level of progress, probably will be able to get to steam machines and telegraph in one lifetime.

    If no - then will be just strolling with everyone and enjoying nature as usual.

    Develop whatever language exists, find methods of timekeeping and recording history. I vaguely remember something about the first humans getting eaten a lot so maybe my priorities are in the wrong place

    As a new born I guess:

    1. Find my moms breast
    2. Drink milk
    3. Sleep
    4. Pee and poop
    5. GOTO 1

    I’m not sure that you meant born because everyone is taking it too literally and it doesn’t help make a decent question.

    Document everything I can think of for future people and put it in a place that someone will find out but is not that open to be degradation.

    I know how impossible this sounds.

    Look around for some andesite, granite, or flint, and copper. Use those to make tools. Instantly get promoted to the top of the human monkey group because I “know magic” of fire and stone. I’m an apprentice smith.

    Probably spend the rest of my life making one of those Roman 12 sided smithing test things that historians can’t figure out what it is.

                  Saddle can be found in Barns and the like. You’re just not looking in the right chests. Of course you’re not going to find one if you’re looking in a dungeon chest!
