hrm. while you do that i'll gather berries and so forth. you probably have a 50% chance of making a kill whereas I'm much surer to find food than you :-p
> make fire.
they reckon that firetending is probably the oldest profession. really. older than that other profession even. but in order for there to be specialists... the social group size would have had to be fairly large (so the group could afford to have a specific fire tender). there would also be risks if there was only one person who could make fire that if they got killed somehow the whole group would be stuffed. probably more likely that women tended fire while guys hunted in social groups (can kill a deer working together but not alone most probably) and you against the bison would be a funny sight :-)
> ugg. me cave. you go? ugg. keep warm.
though we would be safer in our social group ;-)
> curt warm. hrrr.
tee hee. curt funny :-p
