If you met someone from the stone age of five thousand years ago, that was resurrected to live in our times and world what would you say and do for him/her?
Remember our world with all the recent inventions of the last 100 years or so will be unrecognizable to them.

i would first establish trust with him. get a linguist to teach him english, and how to read, write draw etc.
i would then attempt to extract all the info out of him as possible about what life was like for him 5000 years ago.
i would allow scientists access to him.
i would then do everything in my power, to sheild him from extreme culture shock, while trying to bring him back up to speed. it would probably take some time, but i imagine he would eventually be able to appriciate the modern world.

In addition to learning to appreciate the modern world, not having to hunt and gather - feast or famine, our modern world would also scare the hell out of him. Think of the overload of so many, many people! Constant noise around him, which is "normal" background noise to us. The visual overload. Poor guy/gal. Then again, he/she could have been from an advanced culture like Egypt. Or a Hebrew.

5000 years ago they had the same brain capacity as today.
i think that somebody will be able to adjust more quickly then we think. To adjust is one of the strengts of humans.I think the different way of life would be more affected to him then the technologie.

No, that's okay, I'll take them to a nice swanky restaurant to apologize so they can dine on roast duck while listening to pleasant dinner music.
