Use of Fire Atypical? Really?
From the article: Regardless, it can at least be surmised that the controlled use of fire was atypical of Homo erectus until its decline and the rise of more advanced species of the Homo genus came to the forefront. Really?? Why?? Remember the historic aphorism: Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. If there is evidence that members of this species, in several areas around the world, during several time periods, controlled the use of fire (as cited in the article), and since the number of known Homo Erectus sites are limited and in no way could be considered a statistical sample, why should we present the idea that all sites with fire are atypical?
