  You wouldn’t survive very long. The oxygen level was insanely high back then, and for some reason very high oxygen levels can make you go blind if you breathe the air for too long. Also it would have got unimaginably cold at night even in the tropics (virtually no greenhouse gases) so you’d probably freeze to death.

  But also you’d starve to death because there would be nothing to eat since fruit and vegetables wouldn’t have yet evolved.

  You would probably have better luck surviving on an alien planet than Earth several hundred million years ago.

  If we were alive back then, either we took those bacteria with us, or we would cease being alive fairly quickly; I don’t think our intestines work without them

    Hypothetically, if were absent of contaminating the environment by not having that bacteria and instead used nano technology to break down food.

    Would we still have microwood in our balls?
