Unique among all creatures the genus Homo is defined by its bipedalism, an increase in its cranial volume from Australopithecines to Hominines, and cultural features― including the use of tools. The later include stone, 0bone and wood tools of the Lower Palaeolithic (~2.6-0.3 million years ago [Ma]), the Oldowan industry (2.6-1.7 Ma) and the more sophisticated Acheulean industry (from ~1.7 Ma). However, whereas these and other attributes are shared by many species, it is the use of fire which distinguishes Homo from other members of the animal kingdom. Born on a flammable biosphere coated with a carbon-rich layer, the facility of Homo to ignite fire has become its blueprint, all the way from clans of nomad bipeds to civilizations capable of releasing energy and increase entropy in nature many orders of magnitude higher than human physical capacity.
