The first solid evidence of human use of fire in Eurasia as early as 790,000 years ago has been found in excavations in Israel conducted by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Institute of Archaeology.
The discovery was made in excavations, which have been conducted over seven seasons, at the Benot Ya'aqov bridge site along the Dead Sea rift in the Hula Valley of northern Israel. According to Prof. Naama Goren-Inbar, head of the Institute of Archaeology and director of the Benot Ya'aqov excavations, this is the best evidence yet found for human use of fire during the period of the Acheulian culture (from approximately 1.8 million years to 250,000 years ago).
An article on the discovery of this early use of fire appears in the current issue of the journal Science. The article details findings of burned fragments of flint, wood, fruit and grains, indicating that the early humans living at Benot Ya'aqov knew how to control fire and use it to process food. Additional concentrations of burned flint were also found in distinct areas of the site, suggesting that the inhabitants made hearths for cooking and possibly as a site for gatherings.
Prof. Goren-Inbar says that while earlier evidence of use of fire was found in Africa, the current findings from Benot Ya'aqov are definitely the earliest yet found for Eurasia and of a more definitive quality than some of the reported evidence from Africa. The waterlogged environment of Benot Ya'aqov has provided a unique site for preservation of prehistoric archaeological finds, she points out.
The manipulation of fire by early man was clearly a turning point for our ancient ancestors, says Prof. Goren-Inbar. Once "domesticated," fire enabled protection from predators and provided warmth and light as well as enabling the exploitation of a new range of foods.
The evidence of use of fire has been unearthed in various layers of human occupation at the Benot Ya'aqov site, illustrating that once acquired, the ability to use fire remained with generations of early humans who occupied the area over the millennia.
Humans do not commonly eat sloths as they are not a typical food source. Sloths are not ideal as pets due to their specialized care requirements and protected status in many places. Their protection and conservation value make it unlikely for humans to use sloths for profit.
Humans primarily use ants for pest control, as they can help control other pests such as termites and agricultural pests. Some cultures also use ants for food, as they are a good source of protein. Additionally, ants play a crucial role in ecosystems as they contribute to soil aeration and nutrient recycling.
No, vetropolycin is specifically formulated for animals and should not be used on humans. It contains ingredients that are safe and effective for animals but may not be suitable for human use. It's important to use medications specifically designed for human use when treating medical conditions in humans.
Languange
no. all they do is sleep and eat
The use of fire by early humans reminds us that we must be able to adapt to change.

The use of fire by early humans reminds us that sometimes they adapted by changing the environment not themselves.
The early humans discovered and started to use fire some 500,000 years ago. It took hundreds of thousand years to discover how to make fire.
The controlled use of fire by early humans is believed to have begun around 1.5 million years ago in the Paleolithic Age.
It was to use fire.
It was important becuase they use it for tools, food and they use it to take out toxins. They use it for warmth. It was like technology back then.
what did early humans use to migrate to Indonesia and australia
The inventor of fire is not known as fire was likely discovered by early humans through natural events such as lightning strikes or volcanic eruptions. The controlled use of fire for cooking and warmth is believed to have been developed by early hominids over millions of years.
Early humans developed the ability to craft and use tools, control fire, and communicate using language long before other abilities such as farming, writing, or advanced technology. These early developments allowed humans to better adapt and thrive in various environments.
Yes they did. In fact they were the inventors of fire.
Humans have had fire since prehistory... If you mean Indians as in the Native Americans, then yes. If you mean the ancient cultures of the Indus Valley, then yes. Fire was around even in Paleolithic times. Humans have had fire since prehistory... If you mean Indians as in the Native Americans, then yes.
