Someone made fire. Someone was first. I don’t mean the idiot who found a burning stick and kept it going, I mean the fellow who could make fire. And, until that knowledge was stolen, that fellow was the most powerful person on the planet. And it means something to be first; to be “most”. It means a great deal: means you have an opportunity to reproduce with the highest frequency and with the most desirable partners. It means your offspring have the greatest chance of survival and a better opportunity to make their own fire. I personally believe that human evolution has run its course. We live in a world where the people who can ‘make fire’ have a tendency to wear condoms, sit in casinos, and drink themselves into a stupor. . .
