The discovery of fire revolutionized daily life for people in the Old Stone Age by providing warmth, protection, and a means to cook food. Fire also enabled early humans to extend their activities into the night, fostering social interaction and productivity, and played a crucial role in their survival and cultural development.
Stone tools were replaced by metal tools with the discovery of fire. The ability to heat and shape metal allowed for the creation of more efficient and durable tools, leading to advances in technology and civilization.
The discovery of fire did not replace stone tools; rather, it enhanced the effectiveness of stone tools by allowing for heat treatment of stones to make them sharper and more durable. Fire also enabled humans to cook food, stay warm, ward off predators, and create more advanced tools and technologies.
In the old stone age, or paleolithic era, the most important discovery was that you could chip stone in such a way as to produce a sharp edge that could be used to cut things. All progress in the stone age depended on this. There is not too much you can do in the way of making things, without first having some kind of edge to cut things with. In the new stone age, or neolithic era, the most important discovery was that you could plant crops to create a more reliable food source. Even to this day, in the 21st century, agriculture remains the foundation of human society as we know it. We would be unable to feed more than a very small fraction of the world's current population of 7 billion people, without the use of agriculture. If we were to rely on hunting and gathering, it is possible that the world could support about 50 million people at most.
The discovery of fire is believed to have occurred during the Paleolithic Age, also known as the Old Stone Age, around 1.5 million years ago. Early humans likely discovered fire by harnessing natural sources such as lightning strikes or volcanic activity.
In my humble opinion, Fire because it enabled them to scare off wild animals and keep themselves warm and discover cooked food. Primitive speech and communication. It allowed mankind to gain knowledge and pass it along to the whole group.
