So, it’s
Charolton Heston vs. Ringo Starr .
Tough call.
I’ve got to put my money on the cavemen. You’re basically matching up Tiger Woods against an NFL linebacker. And Tiger is wearing a big bulky suit that prevents him from swinging his clubs effectively. He’s going down hard.
Modern humans are healthier, but they’re also wimpier. The astronaut will be in much better shape 10 years from now, but what good is that if he gets his skull crushed 10 minutes from now?

The astronauts have one almost insumountable advantage. Communication. They can work as a team and improvise techniques to take the cavemen down. When you’re not limited to grunts and gestures it’s easier to work together.

Oh, shit. Someone better tell all the wolves that all that growling and howling isn’t gonna help them kill that elk. Oh, wait it does. :dubious:
I’m gonna go with the cavemen here. Sure, brains win out over braun in the long haul but we are talking a one-time encounter here.
