Lava is a very rare occurrence, the vast majority of all pairs of eyes that have ever lived have never seen any. And intelligent awareness of fire is hardly an inevitable path to utilization, individuals might just as well use all that to keep a safe distance. I guess what I'm trying to say, to my own surprise I might add, is that the key evolutionary requirement for for utilization is perhaps not so much intelligence, but a mating process involving a certain element of bravado.
