The ability to make and control fire was extremely important in Paleolithic times. Fire allowed people to cook their food. This made it possible to eat a much larger range of plants and animals, including many too tough to be eaten raw. The use of tools and fire, to keep warm, allowed humans to venture into colder climates. This video shows how fire was made in the Paleolithic period.
 | Fire is VERY dangerous and hard to control and fires should never be lit in the countryside. This video is to illustrate the importance of fire and how people lived. The actions in this video should NOT be copied. |
