Thats not true, they have lone individuals who can live isolated in the wild. its just not a factually true statement.

  First, the vast majority of people who survive in the wild take tools and clothing with them. And second, it's not enough to just survive. You have to reproduce. And it's not enough to just make a baby, you have to raise it to the point where it is capable of independent survival.

    You have a very very mistaken view about the level of sophistication necessary for reproduction. Its just not based in fact. There are still multiple stone age level tribes on the earth. take a woman and man from such a society with no tools and clothing, and put them in a environment similar to what they are used to and they will build the tools and clothing they need and reproduce. Most modern humans are completely disconnected from this lifestyle and probably would not be able to adjust quickly enough... but its not some impossibility of biology. Do you think a gorilla or chimpanzee male and female couple placed in an appropriate habitat with a reasonable amount of luck could survive to reproduce?

      > There are still multiple stone age level tribes on the earth. Yes, of course. The key word there being tribe. Not isolated breeding pairs. > take a woman and man from such a society with no tools and clothing, and put them in a environment similar to what they are used to and they will build the tools and clothing they need and reproduce. Maybe. But even if this were true, the couple would still be relying on knowledge gained through their upbringing in the tribe. That's the reason doing this experiment with humans not raised in a stone-age tribe would almost certainly fail.
