Importance for the mankind
Fire was a turning point for all humanity,

and it’s one of the most important happenings in our history. Fire gave us much more than just a warm, it gave us the opportunity to evolve. Human - it’s the only one creature, who can use fire.

Слайд 3

What do we know from fables?
Actually, we don’t know a lot

about our primal times. Scientists can't really say, how primitive man learned to make a fire. There are many legends in different cultures, but the most famous is about Prometheus, the Titan who stole the fire and presented it to people.

Слайд 4

What Greek legends consist of
Actually, most of greek legends consist of

the same things. But this one is especially known because of really hard punishment in the end.
On the example of legend about Prometheus we can see, that fire was very important thing, and even gods were afraid to lose it.

Слайд 5

In Greek mythology, Prometheus is a Titan who challenged the gods

by stealing fire and giving it to humanity. Prometheus is known for his intelligence and also like a symbol of kindness, that is why it is associated with fire.

Слайд 6

Moreover, several Greek legend says that Prometheus made people from clue

and later stole fire from another god, Hephaestus.

Слайд 7

Of course Zeus, the main god from the Olympus was angry,

and soon Prometheus learned the wrath of the gods.

Слайд 8

The punishment was really hard. Prometheus was chained to a rock.

Every day an eagle, a symbol of Zeus, comes to prisoner and eats his liver.

Слайд 9

Just a legend, but what about the truth?
In the beginning,

primal people were afraid of fire, like animals. But later, they started to understand, that fire can be useful. First evidence of using fire is the shards of a red clay with traces of fire, that was found in Africa. Age of that shards is 1,42 million years.

Слайд 10

For understanding
Homo habilis, 2 million years before our era
Homo erectus, 1

million years before our era

Neanderthal, 500-300 thousands before our era

Слайд 11

People didn’t learn how to make fire at once. The theory

says, that some tribes saw a burning tree because of the thunderbolt.

It’s a plane! It’s a bird! No, it’s a thunderbolt!

Слайд 12

Of course, primal people took fire from different sources. Anyway, next

step was to save the fire because it was a key to prosperity of the tribe. It was a task of a special person - sentinel of fire.

Слайд 13

Sentinel of fire was a man, who watched the fire day

and night. He had no any different purposes. Price of the mistake was too high, usually it was a hereditary business.

Слайд 14

That was one of the most important persons in the tribe.

If the campfire dies - the tribe may die too.

Also, the fire is a dangerous thing, so the sentinel of fire had to be very responsible.

Слайд 15

It took a lot of resources and forces to saving the

fire. Just imagine, that you need to keep fire for weeks.

Слайд 16

Making of fire
Soon, primal people learned how to make fire himself.

Apparently it was just an accident, actually, several accidents:
One of the primitive people used to make some sort of weapon or implements by hitting stone on stone. During this process there were sparks and probably they burned the grass.

Слайд 17

Another possible accident.
For some reason primitive people rubbed stick on

stick, and soon the fire appeared.
So we can truly say, that these 2 usual way to make fire are the oldest.

Слайд 18

Unfortunately, we have not enough information about food of primitive people,

but it's very important. Remember this guys?

All of them were our ancestors. And all of them had primitive primal speech, they knew how to make fire, simple weapons and some implements. But fire gave us much more than that. It gave us the ability to process food. And it became another turning point in our evolution.

Слайд 19

Australopithecus, 4 millions years before our era
One of the oldest ancestors,

what we know. They were the last kind, who didn’t know, how to make fire. The most interesting thing is, that they had large and heavy skull, but small brain. Next type of mankind had larger brain. Why?

Presentation is a fire lol

Слайд 20

That’s how it looks like
Homo Sapiens vs Australopithecus

Слайд 21

The reason is simple, they didn’t use fire and ate raw

meat. That’s why their digestion needed a lot of time to absorb it. Even now, gorillas, close relatives of australopithecus, eat for about 15 hours to get necessary calories.

Fire? No, thank you.
