With regard ...
evidence discovered in Kenya in 1981 and South Africa in 1988 indicates that the earliest powered fire use by hominids occurred about 1,420,000 years ago. Neolithic man did not learn reliable fire-making techniques until about 7000 BCE, in the form of saws, drills, and other friction-produci...
