Some people did some things.
I recall that night too. Peking burnt duck. But they got better.
Genocided or interbred them out of existence?
My people had sex with them.....what can I say we were drunk!
“They found human remains, bent over the remmants of a fire that never quite started...”
Jack London wrote about this!
I read a book that was explaining the development of the human brain. How the introduction of cooked meat was the catalyst.
According to this book, the big central rift in Africa had lots of lava flows. At the edge of those slow moving flows, lava likely gave them fire and introduced them to cooked meat as animals that died too close were roasted. Humans learned and it went from there.
And flint knapping is a good candidate for control.
Wow! Glad that’s cleared up... Now we can all relax and sleep better...
I knew...just KNEW there would be a Far Side cartoon in here SOMEWHERE!!!!!!!!!
I immediately thought of the one where some hominids are making fun of a neanderthal “Can’t make _____! Can’t make fire!”
Some believe the ashes from the fires were an ancient lime burning operation, and the few bones found (that all disappeared in WW II) were someone’s lunch.
I know an engineer that did a lot of damage and caused some fire damage to his fancy BMW. He was using a torch where he shouldn’t.
He was messing around with the steering which didn’t have anything wrong. Somehow he thought he could improve something.
Anyway he melted some wiring and some aluminum.
You’re assuming our men had sex with their women, and everyone was willing.
I suspect half the time it was quite the opposite.
We genocided these Neanderthal folks. No-one has clean hands.
Some people did some things.
Maybe it was like the Sabine women story.
Love it! I so hope that rumor about him coming back and drawing again is true...:)
4. No. They found a 10,000 year old Zippo Marx with a box of matches.
