List three ways in which hunter-gatherers used fire (see page16). Would you use fire for any of these purposes today?

The earlier hunter-gatherers used fire:


1. For keeping away animals.


2. For cooking food.


3. As a source of light.


We, today use fire primarily for cooking purpose. In rural areas where there is no electricity, fire is the primary source of light. Fire is also used for keeping ourselves warm.
