The survived basically like an animal. They ate raw meat, lived in caves for warmth, and really tried the best they could to stay alive.
Fire is a natural phenomenon and thus it was not invented. on the other hand, fire was definitely discovered by man before the wheel was invented.
Magic.
Early man survived as hunter-gathers before becoming farmers, roughly 10,000 years ago at the end of the most recent iceage.
they discovered fire
After the man dies in "To Build a Fire," the dog snuggles up to the man's body for warmth before eventually venturing off into the wilderness in search of other humans or food. The dog instinctively knows that it needs to find a way to survive on its own now that the man is no longer able to provide for it.
The same year that man discovered fire.
long before modern man evolved, probably over a million years ago but not over three million years ago (when man and chimps branched into different species).
paleolithic people discovered fire by trying different things we the things they have eventually they rubbed to rocks together and invented fire
"To Build a Fire" by Jack London is a good example of London's take on naturalism. His view is that death is part of nature and man cannot stop it. If man were able to fight death, the man in the story would have been able to rebuild the fire and survive, but nature as fate prevailed by taking his life. This story also shows man's reliance on nature to survive, and nature's independence from man. The dog was an example of nature throughout the story. The man envied the dog for his ability to survive on his own without the need of fire or clothing. The dog waited on the man until he died because that's what he knew to do, but when he caught the scent of death from the man, he ran to the camp where he knew he could find food. This action shows that the dog did not need the man in order to survive.
The same way modern man does. Shelter, clothing and fire.
In "To Build a Fire," the second fire is extinguished when the man tries to ignite a match to start a fire after falling into the freezing water. The wet conditions prevent the fire from lighting, causing the man to lose his last chance to warm himself and survive in the harsh wilderness.
It's been in the oceans before man evolved, it wasn't discovered by any one person.
