Archaeologists Detect Hominin Use of Fire a Million Years Ago in Israel - Haaretz

Ruth Schuster covers a discovery shedding light upon a major evolutionary bone of contention. New spectroscopic techniques employing artificial intelligence indicate fire usage at a spectacularly prehistoric occupation site. This raises questions about how the fire was created and contributes to the debate about fire's possible role in human physical development. Fire also figures in a discovery connected with human organizational development, as the World's 'Earliest Domestication' of Fruit Trees Reveals 'Complex Society' in the Jordan Valley. Nir Hasson explains the significance of charcoal analysis from a c. 5000 BCE site. (WM)
