About This Quiz

While some of us still posses a great deal of primitive instincts and could easily adjust, most of us would simply lose our minds without the cosmopolitan comforts we enjoy in our modern life. If you are the type that cannot handle the look of steak tartar, the caveman lifestyle might not be for you. Then again, you might possess enough plant knowledge to survive without needing a spear. The only way to find out is to examine the way you live now, and search for signs that you might, in fact, be a brutal savage. 

Let's take a little trip back in time to prehistory, and find out how well you would fare living the caveman lifestyle. Would you be able to hunt and gather everything you need, or would you run screaming at the sight of a woolly mammoth? We'll examine any primitive survival skills that might linger within you, and let you know if you could have handled the loincloth-clad life. 

Whatever you do, don't picture the caveman lifestyle through the eyes of Fred Flintstone during this quiz. He had it way too easy at the quarry. Let's really get back to nature and see how you do!
