context: Thumbnail | 225px | The restoration of Homo erectus, the first human race known to have been able to handle fire, is the turning point in the evolution of human culture. The first time the fire was used dates back to 1.42 million years when Homo erectus lived. There are at least thirteen ruins in Africa that show evidence. Among the Chesowans of Kenya, the earliest in the world, the bones of the beast came out with the Old Dowan stoneware and the burning mud. Paleontologists speculate that it might have been a brazier because of the arrangement of over 50 pieces of burnt mud.

In addition, the fire extended human activity during cold nights and helped protect it from predators and insects. [3]
