How did fire change early man's life?

Answer 1

Location: They could choose where they camped. They no longer had to shelter out of the wind, unless they chose to do so. If their fire went out, they could relight it. On a hot night, if they could find a relatively safe place, a breeze might feel good.

Movement: Control of fire made moving into colder regions possible, as fire they could count on would provide them with warmth.

Protection from Animals: As man had already discovered, most animals were afraid of fire, so a roaring campfire gave protection to the group or tribe.

Protection from Disease: It also changed the way they prepared food. These people began to cook their food consistently. Food that is cooked is more secure from disease and much softer to eat. As a result, it would have been easier for the young and the old to survive.

Social Life: Thanks to their fire-making skills, a nightly campfire became a possibility and a routine. What was once comfort and safety, was now also a social occasion. People collected around the fire each night to share stories of the day's hunt and activities, to laugh, and to relax.

Appearance: The Homo erectus species was the first to look like....people, because their teeth and jaws were shaped somewhat like ours our today.
