Early Humans Making Fire

Two methods of making fire being used by early humans. The first method (left) involved rotating the pointed end of a stick in a dry piece of wood. The other method (right) involved rubbing two pieces of dry wood together. Evidence of fire use came from the discovery of Stone Age flint tools, which were used for scraping and cutting meat. The Stone Age spanned from about 3.4 million years ago to about 6000 BCE. Artwork published in Primitive Man (Louis Figuier, 1870).
