No one will ever know for certain (unless they invent time travel) as prehistoric people did not leave written records (or pendrives or anything else) of what they did and when they did it. ----- Obviously fire was started spontaneously, by such things as lightning, the trick was to nurture it, control it, and have it available when needed. Some dried fungi have properties that enable them to smoulder for a long time if kept dry. They can then be blown into a glowing ember sufficient to ignite fine moss and produce flame. The next step was probably the trick of making sparks on demand from flintstones.
