<But early humans used fire and made tools about 800,000 years ago. Maybe even 1.5 million years ago. Controlling fire is something that only humans do.> True, but controlling fire is a necessary but not sufficient condition to enticing a female to adopt a bloke's DNA. Most girls are looking for more than a guy who can flick a lighter on. Though maybe that explains the tendency to light lighters at rock concerts in mass displays of little flames. It's a Neanderthal mating ritual. The fact that a bloke can chip some rocks into a crude axe and keep a fire going wouldn't get him far with most ladies these days. The definition of "human" has moved over those umpty thousand years. Are you suggesting there hasn't been a change or that there's been a gradual change [to me that's obvious] or that God magically created de novo humans way back then instead of 4000 years ago or what?
