Fire is very important for human development because it allowed our ancestors to move to cold regions and changed the way we cook. Our ancestors’ ability to master fire was an important turning point in the cultural aspect of human evolution. Homo erectus is the first person to be proven to have managed to cope with fire about 400,000 years ago. New discoveries tell us that people could control fire from 1.7 million years ago, but scientists are still arguing about it. “When you go so far back, it’s hard to pinpoint anything,” says historian Knut Ødegård.

A TURNING POINT IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
Human made fire by grinding stones or wood. Some indigenous peoples still use the same methods as 400,000 years ago. Indigenous peoples in New Guinea use friction to create fire. They only learned the modern world 60 years ago, so many of their rituals and traditions are still practiced today. The control of fire is an important moment in human development. Fire protected our ancestors from weather conditions and allowed them to move to colder places to avoid mold on the grain. The preservation of food became easier. Later, fire became the main tool in the development of various weapons..

DID YOU KNOW THAT: EARTH IS THE ONLY KNOWN PLANET IN THE UNIVERSE WHERE FIRE CAN BURN? THERE IS NOT ENOUGH OXYGEN IN THE REST OF THE UNIVERSE.
