About one million years ago, hominids began to leave East Africa. Scientists believe one reason our ancestors were able to leave their environment was fire. Fire changed almost every part of their lives. It provided warmth and light, and a way to cook food. It scared away larger animals. Fire also provided a place for hominids to gather to gather and form a community. The ability to control fire allowed the hominids to leave Africa and roam the rest of the world. |
