or

2) A modern day computer specialist trapped in a cave in the Amazon with no matches, no water, no cooked food,and no computer, no phone, just trapped in a cave or forest in the Amazon. With absolutely nothing.

Answer 1

well none cause they both dumb but a survival person yer!!!

Answer 2

what kind of modern man? some of them do survival training. if this one doesn't, then probably the cavemen as he has an instinct, and probably doesn't mind breaking down a door or two...

Answer 3

Well, if the home has burglar bars, I can infer that the home is in a large city, fairly close to neighbors, and considering we have public services like police and paramedics, I think someone would probably discover the caveman pretty quickly while he's making quite a racket freaking out in a locked home.

The modern man on the other hand, has no access to any resources if trapped in a cave. You have to have at the very least, water. You can survive without food for quite a while, but without water for only a few days. If modern man was trapped in a forest, I think he could survive quite well, assuming he was willing to hunt, gather wood, fashion tools, bang some rocks together to make sparks for a fire, etc. Just depends on the resources at your disposal. This also assumes you're not eaten by a predator, and you don't catch malaria or some other disease from mosquitoes.

My money would go on the caveman though. Most people I know have almost no survival skills. I might do ok, but I also grew up in the woods :-)

Answer 4

The modern day man because for the caveman, the water hose is outside, and he's locked inside.

Answer 5

The Modern day man does not.
