Astronauts are just nerdy scientist with weaker bones due to space travel.

Not all astronauts spend that kind of time in near microgravity conditions. Most spend it training on the ground and are in excellent physical shape. Also, have you even seen a caveman run?

Cheers!

Astronaut. Don't they usually have extensive military backgrounds? That would mean they've had some combat & survival training.

A caveman has no shame or sense of honor (I'm assuming). That means he'll fight really really dirty. Can you say "gnawed testicles"?

remember the average height of a caveman back then was like 4 1/2 feet, versus a 6ft astronaut?

astronaughts have to be extremely fit to go into space, they have to be able to withstand 11G's, and all that weird under water centrifuge stuff

Astronaut: extensive survival training, big brain, probably could fashion a spiked pit of some sort.

Why do you guys thing we wiped neanderthals off the face of the earth? We weren't as strong, but we could outwit them

Big brains win 90% of the time and as the length of time extends, the advantage is greater (i.e. if the astronaut could get safely away for a few months he could build a forge and MAKE weapons.

Wait...so your contention that the astronaut win dependent on the astronaut being able to MAKE A FORGE? What? :beer::wine::beer::confused:
