Peking (present Beijing), the capital of the People's Republic of China. That the 'Peking-Man' knew the use of fire 3,00,000 years ago is also evident. Possibly the early man while striking stone for making tools saw the sparks coming out and thus discovered fire. Anyway, (the use of fire brought about an important change in the early man's life. As he was now able to soften the tough meat and the roots of trees with the help of fire he could take his food in much shorter time. He could thus devote himself to other activities. Gradually, the early man learnt to make use of fire in his daily life in various ways. With the help of fire he could keep his cave warm. He could hunt big animals by frightening them with fire. Again, with the help of fire he could protect himself from the attack of ferocious animals.
Neanderthal-Man: The skeleton-remains of the early man have again been found at the Neanderthal valley in Germany. He is called 'Neanderthal-Man' after the name of the place. Almost 1,00,000 years ago this 'Neanderthal-Man' made much headway in the path of civilisation. Apart from knowing the use of fire he learnt to use the skins of animals for clothing.
