Archaeologists reveal the first technological revolution in human history that occurred about 400,000 years ago
Researchers at Leiden University and Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands said that the first cultural revolution in human history occurred about 400,000 years ago.
The researchers confirmed that the first revolution began when the ancestors of humans began to set fire at a rapid pace, according to what was reported by the “Euricalert” website.
The scientists confirmed that “traces of deliberate use of fire were found in many very ancient sites, where archaeological excavations were conducted, and the study indicated that the intentional use of fire by humans is completely different from the perspective of assessing the intellectual state.” Evolution from the occurrence of fires automatically.
The prevalence of a particular cultural behavior such as the use of fire can be explained in several ways: "the movement of several places by an individual or a group, migration of populations, or transmission of behavioral genes". In the absence of large-scale environmental changes or genetic or fossil evidence of population movements during this period, scholars believe that cultural distribution resulting from the movement of several places by an individual or group is the most plausible explanation for the widespread use of fire.
