"'Taming Fire: The First Scientist?'" Odyssey: Adventures in Science Oct. 2009:

29-30. Print.

For millenniums, a dangerous and in same time a very productive invention has been used. For over 250,000 years ago Fire has started to formulate. The first time fire has ever been used was approximately 1 million years ago. The only proof that has been found was hearths which are a very primitive construction of a fire place which is formed by big rocks put in a circle where in the middle of the circle the fire is lightened. In the Bible fire is recorded as the one of the materials that only gods used, as well in the Greek mythology the same story is told. Uses of fire were mostly for cooking and for keeping warm when it would be very cold. As you can see the invention of fire is a dangerous but productive in the same time which both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages.
