Gravettians, the homo sapiens that lived around 29,000 to 22, 000 B.C. (I never add the E., because of the added cost, and the staggering implications of contamination). Their home spread throughout Europe, and during that time period the area mainly consisted of grassy fields containing hungry beasts roaming around, eating the grass (behaving in normal beastly behaviour).
Useful tools and ideas survived the Gravettians brief time on earth, and one I'm immensely thankful for--the discovery of sewing. Creating a needle and thread to construct clothes for warmth, they added an additional concept called "style" (perhaps for ceremonies or possibly an outfit denoting the leader). Clothes, fitted to the body, in an endless variety of designs, continued throughout our human existence, and will continue as long as the human race prevails.
To our eyes, his clothing style isn't eminently fashionable, yet GQ magazine of 26,000 B.C. would gladly feature this outfit on the cover for a winter issue.
If the caveman suddenly appeared in our time, what must he comprehend of jeans, t-shirts and tennis shoes?
After looking at our world, he'd conclude that this was his ancestral home, and somehow he had died without noticing, or adaptation would quickly become the normal, and rapidly his selfies would appear on facebook.
