___________________________________________________________

The  early man first make fire :

⇒ Fire occurs naturally in the environment and early Hominids learned to “save” some burning embers that they could then transport and use to rekindle a fire. 

⇒ The saw that lighting caused fire so they made the connection between making a spark and fire.

⇒ So they experimented to find ways to make sparks, they succeeded in doing so with flint and another rock. 

⇒ It took skill to start a fire with sparks and they learned what kind of tinder was needed and how to keep it dry etc… 

⇒  Later, they figured out how friction could be used to start fire. 

⇒ One very clever person even found that water could start fire when carefully placed on clear calcite or mica so that it acted as a lens. The lens would then be used to focus light to make fire.
