Homo erectus was the first to use fire. It took millions of years to discover fire. It was discovered when lightning burnt something. The people from the homo erectus clans then started making it with sticks and stones looking out for little sparks. This technique is still used today by some people and others use our improved technology.Like Handy Man, hominids in the Upright Man group were toolmakers. But with their larger brains,they were able to invent more complex tools, including strong hand-axes made of stone. Upright Man's greatest advantage was the ability to use fire. Anthropologists have found burned animal bones in the same places as Upright Man remains. This clue means that Upright Man probably used fire to cook animal meat.Scientists aren't sure whether these hominids were hunters or wheher they found dead animals to eat.

What have anthropologists learned about how homo havilis used the tools they fashioned?

Anthropologists have learned that Homo habilis used tools primarily for butchering meat, processing plants, and possibly scavenging carcasses. This suggests a meat-based diet and a level of cognitive and technological advancement not seen in earlier hominin species. The use of tools by Homo habilis also paved the way for further tool innovation in later hominin species.


Could the first hominids make fire?

It is unclear when exactly the first hominids were able to create fire, but evidence suggests that early hominids started using fire around 1-2 million years ago. They likely achieved this through the use of naturally occurring fire sources before developing the ability to create fire themselves.


What did homo erectus invent?

The first hominid species to move out of Africa and extend across Europe and Asia, including Indonesia. They created and used tools from the Oldowan and Acheulean technology. It has also been suggested that Homo erectus was the first to use rafts to cross water, to function in hunter-gatherer societies, and possibly used fire (I say possibly because the Homo erectus site of Zhoukoudian has some debate about whether or not fire was used). Also, Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens are descendents of Homo erectus, so Homo erectus gave rise to our species.


Which hominids discovered how to use fire?

It is believed that Homo erectus was the first hominid to discover and control fire. Evidence suggests that they were able to use and keep fires for various purposes such as cooking food, staying warm, and providing protection from predators.
