Archaeologists have found evidence that hominids used fire nearly 2 million years ago, pushing back the timeline of this key human skill. The discovery helps scientists better understand early human development and how our ancestors thrived. It’s a reminder of how far we’ve come.
New evidence of early fire use comes from South Africa's Wonderwork Cave, which was inhabited by groups of Homo erectus between 1.8 million and 900,000 years ago.
