Speaking about fire, what are the thoughts on whether the
hominids knew how to build fires from scratch rubbing sticks
or using flint or whether they kept a fire going all the time
after having gotten it, say from a forest fire?

It seems that they must have known how to start fires at
will in order to colonize the colder climates roughly
a million years ago. Some apparently think that they were
making fires a couple of million years ago.

What about the Neandertals; did they make fires or keep them
going ?
