- isostatic 8y agoFrom the article: > If you were living in Africa 3 million years ago without fire, without structures, and without any means of defense, you'd better be able get up in a tree when the sun goes down
- ttsda 8y agoFire is estimated to have begun to be controlled by humans around 1.7 to 0.2 million years ago.
- toasterlovin 8y agoI'm curious who is estimating 0.2 million (200k) years. That is not very long ago. As a point of comparison, there are populations of humans who have been genetically isolated for that long (the Khoisan in southern Africa).
