If you ask us, existence started with a big bang and humanity prevailed with fire. It sounds like quite a statement to make but think about it: how different would life on Earth be like for humans sans fire?
No cooking, no warmth, no light, A LOT of predators … no, a lot of things. It’s safe to say that the first true technical innovation that would carve the path of humanity as we know it today is fire.
Sure, now we’ve got electricity, internet and so we are far from regarding fire as the best invention of our times. In fact, we’re at the point where we’re fearing that our microwave may one day heat up one too many pre-cooked meals and rebel against us (check out our video on AI technology if you want to learn more) but we had to start somewhere, right?
So how did fire shape humanity? How did we manage to tame it? How did controlling it evolve into the technology we have nowadays?
You’re watching Explore Mode and today we are diving into fire and how taming it changed humanity forever.
