IIRC the leading hypothesis is humans discovered how to make fire before we were "human." Or in other words, we were more like chimps and bonobos when we discovered fire. It may have been what led us down the path we are on.

This article is talking about humans using fire to manipulate their environment, rather than just using it to cook or keep warm. That has been going on far longer than Homo Sapiens have existed, but using fire for controlled burns was thought to be much more recent than this study suggests.

WE JUST STARTED A FIRE
\ IT STARTED BURNING EARLY THIS MORNING
\ WE JUST STARTED A FIRE
\ WE TRIED TO LIGHT IT AND COULDN'T HIDE IT
GOOD post
I’ve been thinking about this comment for two days this is so good
It in fact had not always been burning, certainly not since the world’s been turning
It could be argued that our prehuman ancestors were using fire already, and we imherited the problem, and didn't actually start it.
H erectus + fire + evolution = H sapiens
Thanks grandpa
