Uncovering convincing evidence for the identification of ancient traces of fire is a real challenge. Writing in Nature, Davis et al. report success on this front. Using diverse techniques and a contextual approach, this multidisciplinary team presents a set of consistent evidence for the oldest known controlled use of fire, including signs of deliberate ignition of flames. The traces of fire are dated to 400000 years aco in Barnham in southern [...]
