Conventional science can show us plenty of information about human evolution from a hard, forensic standpoint: bones, teeth, relics, and remains can show us the physical manifestations of evolution - from how mankind first learned to walk through the volumetric capacity of our brains.
But there is one thing no archeologist can provide: cognition. The content of a brain. What is more important when one wants to understand humans?

In The Taming of Fire, author and anthropology enthusiast Chaim Chait dares to think the unthinkable, analyzing the evolution of human cognition and building a timeline of our intellectual progression as a species. Through the eyes of prehistoric man who first encounters - and then tames - fire, Chait makes the fundamental comparison between human evolution as a species to human maturity as individuals. Apes to Sapiens. Children to adults. It is the same on different scales.

Exploring both physical and anthropological findings as well as psychological and evolutionary sciences, The Taming of Fire is a groundbreaking read on how primal man formed a hierarchal, borderline symbiotic relationship with fire that shaped how mankind thought, behaved, and evolved for millennia. Fire was not just instrumental, it was a god.
