[2] [3] Some of the earliest known traces of controlled fire were found at the Daughters of Jacob Bridge, Israel, and dated to ~790,000 years ago. [4] [5] At the site, archaeologists also found the oldest likely evidence of controlled use of fire to cook food ~780,000 years ago.

The safety shafts also have clean air flowing through them via vents.
Earth formed in this manner about 4.54 billion years ago (with an uncertainty of 1%) [25] [26] [4] and was largely completed within 10–20 million years. [27] In June 2023, scientists reported evidence that the planet Earth may have formed in just three million years, much faster than the 10−100 million years thought earlier.
This watch was carved from a meteorite that hit Earth a million years ago. Oscar Holland, CNN. ... (like the steel B/1 model that preceded it) was inspired by the post-war movement’s angular ...
The fossils were between 35.5 to 35.9 million years old and were found in a nearly 10-foot-long rock core: a tube-like sample taken from underneath the Gulf of Mexico by the scientific Deep Sea ...
Between 400 and 450 million years ago, fire became a landscape feature. [1]: 11–14 The presence of fusain (fossil charcoal), beginning in the early Carboniferous attests to this fire history and forms an important element of the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary. [1]: 11–14 [2]
