ANSWERFire is a force of nature that when it is controlled, it can provide warmth and can even cook a good really fresh meal in the woods. If a fire is not controlled, it can kill animals, burn down whole forests, drive a herd of animals away from their breeding grounds, or wreak havoc on the west coast, as is the case with the one in California (though there was at least one arsonist involved in that).
Man was never a cave man, nor did they accidentally discover fire or even the wheel, as is legend, but we are actually less intellectual than all of our ancestors.
Fire is formed by friction, like rubbing wood together, or by hitting rocks against each other, or with a rock on hard wood, like Bear Gryllls showed on his show Man vs. Wild, which was how the Mexicans did it long ago and even today on hikes and field trips.
ANSWER
People were not writing history before fire was used. There is absolutely no record of those times other than what archaeologists can discover by excavating prehistoric communities and dwellings. "Prehistoric" means "before history"--the times before any record was kept.
Fire undoubtedly came by way of nature. Lightning starts fires, for one thing. Figuring out how to manage it, maintain it, and use it would have been a prehistoric human task while our remote ancestors were still living in caves and may not have even had language, never mind writing.

∙ 8y agoEvidence suggests that in the earliest stages of use, people use would use materials from fires that had started naturally, for instance by lightning, and kept those fires burning continuously by adding wood to it. The use of flint stones in combination with easily flammable material also dates to way back. Flint was used for all kind of tools since the early Stone Age and it took no Einstein to discover that fiery sparks resulted if you hit two flint stones together.
