and creating fire thereafter (to keep people together at night, and perhaps leading to creativity).
Interesting, Doddy. I've always wondered about the role of fire in human evolution besides the often touted use in cooking meat and usage in hunting.
I would think that fire not only kept people together at night, but also just kept people up and allowed the downtime that naturally comes at night (when hunting and foraging is pointless) to be utilized in new ways.
Could you point me in the direction of any research on this (preferably on the internet, but books are good, too)?
