The moment the earliest known man-made fire was uncovered
Archaeologists in the UK have discovered the world's oldest evidence of humans lighting fires, dating back 400,000 years. The discovery at Barnham in Suffolk includes a flint lighter and heated earth, indicating that early humans deliberately created fire. This pushes back the timeline of human fire-making by over 350,000 years and suggests that early Neanderthals were the ones making these fires.
