Abstract
Some 700,000 years before Christ, Homo erectus un-derstood how to ignite a fire himself. Previously he uti-lized only flames caused by lightning strikes in trees and grasses. The fire initially gave Homo erectus light, warmth and protection against wild animals. These were first comfort elements, which he then never re-nounced again.
