Earliest human fire use found in Barnham
Researchers at the British Museum and Natural History Museum have discovered strong evidence from a site in Suffolk that humans created fire around 350-thousand years earlier than was previously thought.
The ingredients for a Stone Age 鈥榣ighter鈥� that could throw sparks were found at Barnham in the west of the county -- and have been written about in the journal Nature.
The 麻豆社's Science correspondent, Pallab Ghosh, has had exclusive access to the pre-historic location where it all happened.
