Our bodies still run on a good deal of the original hunter-gatherer blueprint. My Caveman DNA asks about the points where primitive instinct breaks through modern life: your judgement when hungry, the tension of being dropped among strangers, how fast you register a danger signal, and how you choose between a reward now and a larger reward later.

Eight core questions measure the degree of that wiring, and whether you lean hunter, gatherer or firekeeper is read from the way your scores tilt. The result is one of 24 outcomes — eight caveman types with three variations each.

No verdict is passed on which end is better; each type simply performs well in a different environment. There is no sign-up and nothing personal to enter.
