Question

Of man’s earliest invention we know very little. The first may have been the use of a

stone to crack a nut. The next was possibly the use of a stick to strike an enemy. Once

man found that stick and stone were useful, it was only a step further to the marking

of a crude weapon by fasting a stone to the end of a stick. Man used sticks and

stones long before he dared to meddle with fire: for the early men, like all wild

creatures, dreaded fire. Fire, of course, existed: for lightning must sometimes have

set the forests ablaze just as it does today: and in those days volcanoes were much

more active than they are now The forgotten hero who first dared to tame fire to his

own use was the greatest of early discoverers: for once man had fire under his

control, he was master of all lower creatures.
