Behold the evolutionary flex that changed everything! While millions of species evolved over billions of years, humans said "nah, we'll just harness fire " and suddenly dominated the planet. The control of fire roughly 400,000-300,000 years ago was literally the hottest technological breakthrough in history, giving us cooked food (hello bigger brains!), protection from predators, and the ability to expand into colder regions. Every other creature was just living their best Paleolithic life when humans showed up with their fancy controlled combustion and rewrote the rules. Talk about the ultimate power move in evolutionary history!
