Prehistoric Firelighting with Dr. James Dilley

Controlling fire was a major step in the evolution of early humans and their technology. Our earliest evidence of consistently controlled fire comes in at around 400,000 years ago from Qesem Cave (Israel). However researchers are finding evidence of burned bone and stones dating from 800,000 years - 1.6 million years old in Africa, but does this show controlled fire? Or opportunistic use of bush fires and lightning strikes? Experimental archaeologist Dr. James Dilley demonstrates one of the methods used by our Neanderthal cousins to created fire using iron pyrite, flint and some tree fungus. He also discusses the archaeology behind proving our Neanderthal ancestors beat us to making fire on demand.
