Answer 6

It would seem you're assuming the cave man would want to be instructed. So, using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as my blueprint, I'd first want to go over the basic needs of food, clothing, & shelter   Assess what they're lacking & teach from there.

And then next, we'd go to safety issues > basic survival from being eaten by carnivores, keeping family safe, & keeping an awareness of health & property issues.

If I lived long enough to get to stage 3, we go over the love/belonging issues> things like the need to work together as a cohesive unit, establishing friendships & showing the proper affection for loved ones.

Knowing the life expectancy was less than 30 years, it's doubtful I'd get to the 4th level or 5th level, but I've included a source if you want to see what they are.

Answer 7

I would give them the information needed to make ethanol fuel.  So, that in the future when it came time to make cars, we could start off using this fuel.  So we wouldn't be in the bind we are in now with all the fuel problems we are running into!!!

Answer 8

How to use fire, how to use written language and how to make a decent souffle.  That, or how to ferment and distill fruit.
