Best Answer
the cavemen.

Answer:
Fire was not invented, it is a naturally observed phenomenon. (grass fires, forest fires, etc.) Primitive peoples inventiveness came in findin ways to preserve fire by feeding it fuel (1.9 million years ago), use it to cook and stay warm, and finally how to create it without having to wait for convenient lightning strikes and volcanos (400,000 years ago).
WIth this great span of time the names and locations of the innovators is not known.

who ever said fire was invented or discovered? As so many of us think that is true. People were always aware of it's existence, they just didn't know the materials to use to get it started, like flint and tinder.

Thus we say fire was invented by the early humans,by rubbing 2 stones or 2 bones together with great energy and hard work of 1 or 2 days.

This invention continued for many years and still people living in the villages,the uneducated and the poor use these methods.And then after centuries and centuries came modern and easy ways to store fire in the cooking gas,we also got match-sticks after a few more years.

Thus fire was invented like this.

No one knows exactly which person first discovered fire, but it is known that humans were using fire almost one million years ago. Fire helped to repel predators and to cook food.
