Explanation

Fire-making was likely the first major technological skill learned by early humans, dating back at least 1 million years. Before the wheel, agriculture, or settled life, control of fire provided warmth, protection from predators, a way to cook food (improving nutrition), and a social focus. The discovery marked a crucial step in human evolution and cognitive development.
