“Since the time humans first began to control fire around 400,000 years ago...”

Would love to see a source to back this up.

Wikipedia probably.

Fire was used by Homo erectus in northern China more than 400,000 years ago, and there is sketchy evidence suggesting that it may have been used long before that (Gowlett, 1984, pp. 181-82).
