By the fact that I may or may not be a NASA employee myself, I can tell you that we train our astronauts to fight all manner of alien menaces... I can't even count how many times we've stopped the Jovian's from taking over the earth. Anyway, a caveman won't stand against the might of our death rays (which work as long as we don't confuse measuring scales).

My question is why does everyone assume cavemen are half-retarted? I mean obviously cave-men had some intelligence, since they survived dinosaurs and such.

Yeah, but knowing how to survive for a caveman meant knowing how to avoid being killed by creatures significantly larger than you, and occasionally meant knowing how to bring down a mastodon or other large creature for its fur.
That one thing they knew how to do was killin' things. I'd give the caveman pretty good odds.

yeah they could kill things that was not as intelligent.
but what happens when you put them up against someone with a superor intelligence,
someone that can think and act alot faster then there primitive brain could handle, hand to hand the caveman has it i would think but its when you start adding veriables to the question thats when it slips away from the caveman just because he does not understand how to use technology, or ajust to his surroundings as fast as the astronaught.
A gun is no more scary to a caveman then a curved stick, and when you don't understand its power you don't give it the caution it deserves.
But on the other hand i would think an astronaught whould underestimate the brute force that the caveman would have, and then it would put them both on a level playing field again.
The first one to not underestimate the opponent would be the winner and that takes brain power and thats why i think the astronaught would win
