Looking into Upper Paleolithic gear: The potential of an integrated techno-economic approach
Geochemical Evidence for the Control of Fire by Middle Palaeolithic Hominins
TLDR
The results suggest that the ability of hominins to manipulate fire independent of exploitation of wildfires was spatially variable in the MP and may have developed multiple times in the genus Homo.
