    I only know Chinese.

    1. The Yuanmou people already know how to make tools and know how to use fire.

    2. Pekingese already know how to use natural fire, and they will also preserve fire. Grilling food with fire, driving away wild beasts, lighting, protection from the cold (natural fire** is occasional friction**, forest fires, thunder and lightning**, spontaneous combustion in open-pit coal mines, it is not easy for them to get fire, and thick ash heaps found in the ruins indicate that they have been using fire to keep the fire burning).

    3. The cave people on the top of the mountain have been able to make fire manually, and the technology of using fire has been further improved.

    About the world's first human beings to use fire and time, I don't know, for a while, I stuck it to you.

    790,000 years ago, a group of early humans living in present-day Israel knew how to use fire to make tools and even process food. The discovery, published by Israeli archaeologists in the new issue of the American journal Science, provides the oldest evidence to date that humans began to use fire.

    When humans first began to use fire has been a hotly debated topic in the archaeological community. Archaeologists have previously deduced from archaeological findings in Africa that humans began using fire more than 1 million years ago, but this is not very convincing. The new discovery of Professor Goren Inbar and his colleagues at the Hebrew University in Israel is considered "powerful" by many scientists.

    Goren Inbar et al. conducted an in-depth excavation and analysis of a site in northern Israel, which was dated to about 790,000 years old. Scientists sifted through tens of thousands of samples from the site and found plant seeds, trees and flints that had been burned by fire. Goren Inbar et al. point out that burned trees and flint and the like make up less than 2 percent of the total sample, meaning that they were not burned by wildfires, otherwise the proportion is usually much higher.

    The analysis shows that early humans living at the site at that time used fire to treat six plant species, including olive trees, wild barley and wild grapes. Scientists have also found that burnt flint is scattered in piles in various places, which they speculate may be the remains of some hearth used to process food.

    In a press release, Goren Inbar noted that while there have been archaeological findings in Africa that showed that humans began to use fire earlier, the new results are clearly the oldest evidence ever found in Eurasia related to human fire, and more conclusive than previous archaeological evidence obtained in Africa.

    The scientists say the site is located at the crossroads of Africa and Eurasia, and the new findings could help better explain how early humans managed to enter Europe, where the climate was relatively cold. The early human colonization of Europe took place about 800,000 years ago, and knowing how to use fire will undoubtedly enhance its ability to survive. However, scientists do not know exactly which branch of evolution the early humans who lived at the site in Israel belonged.

    Hope it helps! I'll know everything.

    Do animals other than humans use fire?

    The first to start artificial fire was the "cave man".

    Cave Man, North China.

    Late Paleolithic human fossils. It belongs to Homo sapiens in the late stage. Because it was found in Zhoukou, Beijing.

    The top cave at the top of the Peking Man site in Dragon Bone Mountain is named.

    The number of stone tools of the cave people is very small, 25 in total and none of them are representative. There are only 3 pieces of choppers, made of sandstone gravel. Scrapers are made of flint.

    or vein quartz flakes One of the concave blades is more delicately made. The two pole stone chips (or two-end blades) are mostly vein quartz, and there are traces of stone chips peeling at both ends. This stone flake has been found in the Peking Man site, and many cave people have used the same method to make tools.

    The use of fire is an important sign of man's eventual separation from apes, and there are traces of charcoal chips in the Yuanmou ape man site in China 1.7 million years ago, and Chinese paleoanthropologists also believe that Beijing man 23,460,000 years ago already knew how to manage the fire and protect the fire. But the most typical remnants of the use of fire are found in the Zhoukoudian Cave in Beijing, where the ashes are several layers thick and several meters long. In Werterszelles, Hungary, ashes of fire used by hominids were also found.

    Primitive people may have used fire at the earliest time when they were making stone tools or scraping wooden sticks, and gradually realized that flint would collide with sparks, and the friction of wooden sticks would also cause heat. After a long period of labor experience, people finally mastered the method of making fire. Probably in the late Paleolithic period, as primitive people learned the grinding technique and the drilling technique, they also mastered the method of drilling wood for fire or flint for fire, achieving a great creation in human history.

    The use of fire, to the primitive production and life brought revolutionary changes, pottery is born with the use of fire, in the Czech Dolny Vestoni found the kiln pit and fired human and animal pottery, existed 10,000 years ago, indicating that human beings have pottery technology at this time.

    The meaning of fire. 1. Eating cooked food is easy to absorb, so that the ape man obtains more abundant nutrition, cooked food and boiling water make the ape man less sick;

    2. Slash-and-burn farming, fire promotes the development of agriculture and increases yield; The use of copper, the use of iron, and the invention of pottery are all inseparable;

    3. Fire is the most advantageous tool for primitive people to drive away insects, snakes and beasts in the dark night;

    2. As for the factors that play a positive role, we often mention labor, which not only exercises the ape-man's body, but also the ape-man's brain. The body and brain accumulate from quantitative changes to qualitative changes, and at a certain moment, human beings are born. But I think the role of natural selection is also very large.

    Natural selection has screened out the anachronistic genes of ape-mans and is a very effective genetic filter. Then there is the natural environment, the end of the ice age brought with it an abundance of food. So I think the main factors are:

    1. Labor (or survival process), 2. Natural selection, 3. Suitable living environment.

    Fire was of vital importance to primitive man and indeed to humanity as a whole.

    It is impossible to verify exactly which year the primitive people used fire for celebration, but it is certain that the primitive envy people who used fire for the first time knew that fire energy last year could help people survive the cold winter; It is also known that fire can cook food, and eating cooked food is certainly a big step forward than eating it raw; He also knew that fire could repel beasts, so that other beasts did not dare to approach easily.

    In fact, the role of fire is not fully discovered once or twice or in a year or two, but there must be a long process of understanding, which makes human beings continue to make progress, constantly use the power of fire to develop themselves, and finally separate from the animals, and surpass other animals.
