80.000 years ago mankind was born.

2
00:00:37,517 --> 00:00:42,522
The prehistoric man knew how to conserve the gift
of fire that nature was willing to grant him
(thunderbolts and firespewing volcanoes),

3
00:00:42,731 --> 00:00:45,650
but he did not have the ability to
create this element on his own.

4
00:00:46,067 --> 00:00:50,030
Possession of fire, which we take for granted
today, was the cause of untold confontations
and strife,

5
00:00:50,238 --> 00:00:53,575
as only possession of fire quaranteed
life and survival in those hard times.

6
00:00:54,409 --> 00:00:59,414
Fire was used not only to fry caught game, but
also to protect from the terrible cold of the
glaciers and the intrusion of wild animals.

He, who possessed fire, possessed life.
