yay! Definetely.

I don't agree with a few points here. Homo Sapien Sapiens was discussed already, so I'm not getting into it.

But. If you'd put a "caveman" (I use the word to make it easy, it represents a person from the stone age) to the modern world, he wouldn't be likely to survive alone. Also, if you'd put a modern man to stone age, he'd get his ass kicked in a short time, most likely. Both have a slight chance of learning the basic skills of surviving, ie. fishing, hunting, fighting off bears, running, going shopping, avoiding cars, etc etc. They both have approximately the same brain and physique. Both would encounter enviroment totally different from what they had used to, and diseases would likely kill both of them. The modern man would be better protected from these, since he already has some inbuilt resistance to acient diseases. His problem would be the predators and getting food, in other words the nature. The caveman would be lost in the infrastructure.

To sum it up, the difference lies behind education. The caveman knows everything about surviving in nature, he'd be amazed why modern people take cover for such small thing as rain. A modern man would be in problems with getting food and other necessities, since he suddently wouldn't have the social structures, where everyone is specialized to do his own job and expecting the next guy to do his own, to support him.

This is mostly a result of a certain skill we all share; Ability to read and write.

Homo Sapiens is us. Homo Sapiens Sapiens is a fictionary way of telling apart the "cavemen" and us, civilized, modern folks. Biologically there is no difference. Homo neanderthalensis, Homo Erectus and other acient human beigns were also humans, like makis and chimpanzees are both monkeys.

I started thinking about the use for such an item... Should the items fly straight towards you, or do they turn in corners? That'd make them actually useful in other ways as another means of setting off traps. Here's something that might happen:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
X..@...k....m..
X.XXXXXXXXXXXXX

X: Wall
.: empty space
@: player
k: kobolt
m: BIG mine, armed and dangerous

You summon the activated big mine!
The kobolt is hit by the big mine! The mine explodes! The kobolt is hit by the explosion! The kobolt panics! The kobolts left arm is severed! The kobolts right arm is severed! The kobolts left leg is severed! The kobolts groin is severed! The kobolt is severed! The kobolt dies with the sound 'BLLAAARGHFNARF'!
You are hit by the explosion! Nothing happens!

You and I are both Homo Sapiens, and Homo Sapienses have been around for roughly 200 000 years. So they weren't that stupid. During the last 50 000 years, there has only been Homo Sapienses.

But this is fiction, so why not.

Traps gave me an idea. Where is the wand of fetching?

You zap the wand of fetching.
What do you want to fetch? (type the name of item(s): Belt of levitation
The belt of levitation hurtles towards you and lands at your feet.

Basically, similar to Harry Potters accio-spell. If several swords are around, they all come. The effect is the same as if thrown, so instead of gently landing at you feet, you could get:

The Vermis hurtles towards you and hits you in the groin! Your groin bleeds very badly! You panic! You are teleported away!

Of cource, the bigger the distance to the item, the better intelligence you need to have.

What's the point of putting a potion mixed in dirt to a bottle? It's probably ruined anyway. If the floor is metal, I think you could lick it...

It is widely believed, that stone age hunters shot at pictures painted on cliffs to make arrows hit better. At least, they have found hundreds of broken arrowheads next to paintings in various places.

Have you tried my ommel vomit? A liquid that works as all the ommel fluids combined, but is extremely acidious... >=)

If it's the one I'm thinking about, you couldn't have chosen better. Sounds like a gigantic project though; You may ask me if you need any help... =P

I can see the light!

Or maybe it's the sun, I don't know.
