    no way archaeologists thought cavepeople kept perpetual fires going & didn't know how to light stuff themselves, did they? i thought that part was so ridiculous

    also the sex stuff was icky

      For a while, yeah.fire was probably discovered as being useful before we knew how to start one. We probably figured out how to move and maintain a fire before learning to start one from scratch.

        Yar. It's kind of hard to imagine someone figuring out a bow-drill before they figured out "I can just grab a burning stick from this wild fire and keep the coals alive indefinitely".

        But who knows? It's all speculation, maybe they did. You rub things together, they get warm, fire is warm, people are smart. Anything is possible.
