do cavemen have fire or clubs???
without the club, i think the astronaut would win. but if they both had clubs i think the cavemen would win. they have to learn t live rough on the land, more so than astronauts.
also, where are they fighting? anywhere with anything that could be used as a weapon.

Cavemen aren't going to be fighting astronauts anytime soon but hypothetically- the caveman would be startled by the modern appearance of the astronaut, which, in turn, would gain the advantage and probably try to punch the caveman, damaging his fist on the primeval bone structure of the neanderthal. The caveman would conclude it to be an enemy and probably manhandle the astronaut like a ragdoll.
There's nothing like hunting dinosaurs and ancient mammals daily to make you strong beyond today's standards.

Cavemen did not hunt dinosaurs.
Now, go repeat that a hundred times to make up for your egregious error.

Yeah, a 100 times for THIS infraction. The next time it doubles.

Totally the caveman. Killing primitive animals is a lot more difficult than killing people. Also, since the astronaut doesn't have weapons, rifle training wouldn't do him a hell of a lot of good, would it?

I don't know about nutirtion, but humans, as a race have gotten substantially larger/taller over time. I know that every ancient skeleton I've seen in museums come to about my sternum - but then, I'm fairly tall.
Streangth is another matter, but I think astronauts generally are in pretty good shape.
I think in order to choose a winner, I would need a situation. Context would determin everything.
While true that a caveman may be stunned and/or confused by the sight of an astronaut, I imagine that an astronaut would be equally surprised to see a cro-magnon standing there.
If it was just 2 guys come around a corner, and a fight ensues, I'd go with the caveman. The caveman probably has a stronger survival instinct, and is more accustomed to fighting for his life at the drop of a hat. That, and the astronaught might think he was facing a severely retarded/handicapped person, and may hesitate.
If there was time to plan, however, even if only for a minute or so, I'd go with the spaceman. Intellegence and strategy would go a long way here, and it couldn't be too hard to out-think a caveman, particularly if one has military training.

Quote:They are trained to use their Rifles as melee weapons, like clubbing the other guy with the butt or stabbing them with the bayonet. A cave man may know how to club an animal after he has speared it but a military trained Astronaut would know how to fight a man armed with a club like weapon. Ever seen solders in boot fighting it out with foam tipped staffs ala ‘American Gladiators’?

but I understand that astronauts are picked to be small, to fit in small spaces,
and when I saw the recent show at the Air & Space Museum about the current work done in space, they were all little tiny men (and women)
who lift weightless stuff all day, and are not muscle bound (fitting into tiny places...)
Plus cavemen fight dirty, and to the death,
I'm not sure civilized educated people are really up for that kind of all out rough and brutal battle....
nope, my dough is on those cavemen
