Ancient Fire Making - How old is friction fire?
It is thought that our ancestors, Homo habilis 2.5 million years ago managed or conserved fires. It is not known whether these early fires were started my people or by nature.
It is thought that another ancestor, Homo erectus, probably mastered fire making about 1.6 million years ago. We believe this because old fire hearths have been found in Africa.
If you join us in the woods you will be carrying on this ancient and one the oldest human skills there is!
