I'm talking in the order of a million square kilometres. (DRC alone is 2.3 mil...) Do you think that could be done with stone tools and fire?

I don't have any particular knowledge of the grasslands of tropical africa and a quick look at the literature shows a pretty ambiguous situation that I'm not qualified to speak to, but the concept as a whole is one that I find reasonably plausible.
