Analysis of charcoal found at the site of Gesher Benot Ya'aqov in northern Israel shows that early hominins used readily available tree species for firewood, according to a statement released by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. For tens of thousands of years, hunter-gatherers repeatedly returned to Gesher Benot Ya'aqov, which was situated near a lake. Ethel Allué of the Catalan Institute of Human Paleoecology and Social Evolution, Naama Goren-Inbar of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and an international team of scientists examined more than 250 pieces of charcoal from an occupation layer at the site dated to some 780,000 years ago. The researchers were able to determine that ash, willow, grapevine, oleander, olive, oak, pistachio, and pomegranate wood were all burned. When compared with the variety of fruits, nuts, and seeds collected for food at the site, Allué and her colleagues found that the charcoal represented a more diverse collection of botanical remains. The firewood was therefore likely picked up as fallen branches and logs from plant species available along the lakeshore and the open Mediterranean woodland. Fish remains, mainly the teeth of large carp, were found among the charcoal, indicating that fish were cooked over what was probably a carefully controlled fire, the researchers concluded. Read the original scholarly article about this research in Quaternary Science Reviews.

You must have missed that in two earlier replies.
Analysis of charcoal found at the site of Gesher Benot Ya'aqov in northern Israel shows that early hominins used readily available tree species for firewood, according to a statement [...] Ethel Allué of the Catalan Institute of Human Paleoecology and Social Evolution, Naama Goren-Inbar of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and an international team of scientists examined more than 250 pieces of charcoal from an occupation layer at the site dated to some 780,000 years ago.The tribe (particular taxonomic group) of Homini includes the following extant species: Chimpanzees, Bonobos, and Humans (as well as many extinct species such as the Australopithecines).
Chimps and Bonobos form the sub-tribe of Panini, while Humans belong to the sub-tribe of Hominina.
All members of the Genus Homo are thus homininans.
Strictly speaking, the writer is not incorrect: The fire-builders were hominins - but that is an overly broad designation, since it includes Chimps and Bonobos (which definitely never mastered fire-making).
It would have been "cleaner" in the article to speak of "homininans."
Regards,
Great post! Then as is now there were people who for whatever reason did the bidding of clever others, went out collected the wood and the food and then delivered it to them as ordered. So it goes.
This comes directly from the “well, doh” department.
Including various species of dried dung. Wet ones were difficult to ignite.
God is going to get you for that.
I can pretty much confirm that anytime I was out in the wood during cold weather, any wood would do for me too.
Hahahahahahahhahahahahah!!!!!
Heh, except it comes out like “I am Groot.”!
Natalie, Wood.
No Tiger Woods references? Guess ancient hominids weren’t into roll playing.
This thread is obviously populated with reprobates. I am going to leave now!
Interesting-then as now, necessity dictated what wood was gathered/burned when cold or hungry and outdoors...
I’m pretty sure you meant “role playing”-I doubt they played a “roll”-autocomplete does not know anything about proper grammar...
It is just a lot of time and energy to make them so anything else is preferable.
It would have been “cleaner” in the article to speak of “homininans.”
.
Would “homininans” have included Ralph Kramden?
No, I was talking about Tiger Woods and meant exactly what I said. Not what you think I meant.
