So if a caveman and an astronaut got into a fight, who would win?

Does the astronaut have any weapons?

NO!

I will win because I'm going to be accepting bets and I'll rig the fight so that they both lose so I can keep all the money.

Hmmm, I'd have to go with Dark Ages Man who is waiting in the wings to give them both the Black Plague.

Most of the old school astronauts (Like Jim Lovell, Buzz Aldrin, Gus Grissom, John Glenn etc) were military pilots trained to escape and evade enemy forces and engage in armed and unarmed combat. Many also had combat experience over Korea etc so they are so stranger to danger. I would go with the Astronaut.

I totally agree with Gunrunner. Astronauts (especially the original ones) are generally in very good physical condition. Heck, Buzz Aldrin took down a conspiracy nut with one punch and he's old. Also, people today are generally larger than people of old because of better nutrition. Cavemen didn't have super strength or anything. So, a group of astronauts would be in better physical shape and could devise better strategies for group fighting. The cavemen would lose. As much as it pains me to admit it, Spike is wrong.

Quote:Well, that depends, actually. Although cavemen are not superstrong, they actually are harder to kill than modern people (physically, they're more robust--it's hella difficult to bash in a caveman's skull!). I don't know about the nutrition bit. Cavepeople actually ate a very balanced diet; when humans learned agriculture and settled down, they actually grew smaller from malnutrition--because they were eating too much grain and not enough other stuff. It was actually a physical step down for humans to learn agriculture; the cavemen were healthier. So, I suspect the astronauts would be larger than Sumerians, but cavemen? I don't know. I wouldn't count out the cavemen so quickly. Astronauts might have survival training, but cavemen spend their whole lives surviving, and it makes a difference.

My God. I just participated in the endless cavemen vs. astronauts debate. How could that happen?

Quote:The thing is the Astronauts don’t just have survival training they have the best parts of several thousand years of human warfare knowledge they learned at Basic Training, Air Force/Naval Academy, and Flight School. Plus John Glenn was a US Marine (Every Marine a rifleman, Hoo-Yah and all that crap) he was trained to storm enemy beaches and stuff long before flight school while a Caveman never really learned much beyond hunting local deer (or whatever). They are trained killers in top physical shape.

Would the astronaut be in a space suit? Because that would make him a bit more vulnerable. But then... if the astronaut is in a space suit... would the caveman have to be in a space suit? I suppose if one is they both would have to...
Well in that case, I'mma go with the astronaut, because the cavemans just strong and the astronaut is an undercover ninja that was accidentally sent back into time in a space program experiment of course. ^ ^
