Taming Fire

Prehistoric humans used fire to adapt to their environment because fire enabled them to do so many things. It enabled them to:
-Socialize with others
-Protect them from predators
-Allowed them to digest foods easier
-Made food tastier
-Disabled bacteria
These thing then helped humans to adapt to their environment. They could now eat food that they weren't able to eat before because it was raw. This lowered the risk of caching a flu and getting sick from the cold(if it was cold)because the fire provided warmth. Since they then had the ability to transport warmth prehistoric people were able to move to places they couldn't before because it was to cold. They also found another way to ward of predators that would threaten them in the night. Night also brings us to the fact that they could stay up after the sun went down enabling them to share ideas, hopes, dreams and fears to others. The most important thing is that the experimentation of fire opened a world of experimenting to the prehistoric people.
