Unlike many
other animals, humans depend primarily on sight to learn about the world around
them. During the day early peoples could see by the light that came from the
sun; but night brought darkness and danger. One of the most important steps
people have taken to control their environment occurred when they learned
to conquer the dark by controlling fire
—

Thousands of
years ago men and women lit their way with flaming logs. These could be said to
have been the first lamps. As time went on different forms of lamps were
invented. Often these lamps were
connected with
religion, burning in temples and so on. Early Egyptian lamps were lit for the
dead and for the gods.

source of light was fire. Humans did not learn how to
start and control fires themselves until about
1.5

naturally caused fires burning for as long as they could. This process
continued for hundreds of thousands of years until early people finally learned
how to start fires.
