Question

How did paleolithic man discover fire

Answer 1

The most likely answer: they didn't. Our oldest evidence of the controlled use of fire actually dates back way before the evolution of Homo sapiens, likely back to an ancestor known as Homo erectus.

This was the first hominid to really walk upright, with a slightly larger brain than previous apes and a propensity for tools. How Homo erectus used fire, or even if they did, is still very much a topic for debate, but there is evidence of hearths (fire pits) that date from 1.5 - 2 million years old across Africa.
