Scientists in Suffolk, England, uncovered the earliest known evidence of deliberate human fire-making, dating back an astonishing 400,000 to 415,000 years ago.This groundbreaking discovery, detailed in Nature by a team including Rob Davis, pushes back the known date for controlled fire-making significantly, far earlier than previous estimates.The find, attributed to early Neanderthals, consists of charred soil and stone tools, highlighting fire's profound impact on human evolution, brain development, and expansion into colder regions.
