- Onset of extensive human fire use 50,000 y ago | PNAS
By integrating pyrogenic carbon records with archaeological data, we propose that intensified human global expansion, population growth, and rising demand for fire use during cold glacials resulted in a surge in fire use since approximately 50,000 y ago

Fire is a pivotal aspect of human involvement in the carbon cycle However, the precise timing of the large-scale human fire use remains uncertain Here, we report a pyrogenic carbon record of East Asian fire history over the past 300,000 y from the East China Sea This record suggests a rapid incre …
- Scientists discover evidence of extensive human fire use . . .
The research reveals a notable increase in fire activity across East Asia approximately 50,000 years ago This finding aligns with earlier reports of heightened fire activities in Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Papua New Guinea-Australia region respectively, suggesting a continental-scale intensification of fire use during this period
- New study uncovers 50,000-year legacy of man-made fires
(CN) — Researchers from the Institute of Oceanology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have uncovered compelling evidence of a sharp increase in human-driven fires beginning approximately 50,000 years ago The findings provide groundbreaking insights into the evolution of human behavior and its growing impact on our planet The team analyzed pyrogenic carbon, fire-derived chemicals, found in
- Ancient Humans Were Using Fire to Shape the Earth 50,000 . . .
Now, in a groundbreaking new study, scientists have uncovered compelling evidence that humans were actively and widely using fire to shape their world as far back as 50,000 years ago, far earlier than previously believed
