Wasps' Nests was created on 1995-03-21.
They make new wasps.
Paper wasps like log homes because they are more natural and provide many places to nest. It also provides a source of material with which to construct nests.
No millions of years before humans wasps were producing a paper like substance to build their nests. Which of course they still do.

Yes. All wasps sting, some species are less aggressive than others but the paper wasp is quite aggressive and protective of their territory. It is a very painful sting. Paper wasps feed spiders to their young, and they use it for that, but they do not hesitate to sting people in proximity with their nests.

yes. kind of. hotter weather means more wasps. sometimes, bigger nests. maybe. sometimes. not always.
Wasps chew wood fibres which, when mixed with their saliva, makes a form of paper. While it is still moist they can mould it to whatever shape they want. This is what they use to make their nests
The nests that they make actually are constructed of paper. The wasps collect bits of wood (usually in some stage of decomposition) , paper, or cardboard if they can find it. "chew" it up, mix it with their "saliva" and spread it around in very thin layers with air layers in between.
