Just FYI, after listening to Nat Geo explorer Lee Berger speak at a book event, I no longer believe that building and circling around fires is uniquely human! If you’re interested in learning about their recent discoveries look up Homo Naledi — even though homo is in their name, their bodies were more like animals than humans, yet they made fires and had funerals way before we have knowledge of human ancestors ever doing the same. There’s also a documentary about them.
