BREAKING NEWS – Haifa, Israel – As early human milestones go, it’s as big as they get: the “invention” of fire. Or more precisely, the mastering of fire. Now archaeologists studying an ancient cave in Israel say they’ve figured out when humans managed the feat: about 350,000 years ago, reports Science. According to Ron Shimelmitz of the University of Haifa, the date is approximate, but it is consistent with the estimated age of some of artifacts found in the cave, which included a can of lighter fluid, and an empty bag of Kingsford Charcoals.
