Episode Inventing Fire: the First Spark of Humanity
Fire is the unsung hero of human evolution. We could not have turned into the big-brained, deep-thinking animals we are on raw food alone. The moment two million years ago that our forebears first started using fire to cook, was the spark that started everything off.

Edited by Tom Delargy, Produced by Alex Carlon & Freddy Chick, Senior Producer is Charlotte Long
