The first recorded use of fire by early humans dates back to around 1.5 million years ago. Evidence from archaeological sites, such as those found in East Africa, suggests that Homo erectus was likely the first to control fire for cooking and warmth. However, more definitive evidence of controlled fire use appears around 400,000 years ago, with discoveries in sites like the Wonderwerk Cave in South Africa.
