Abstract
This chapter examines primary evidence of behavioral complexity in Homo erectus — the use of stone tools and, above all, fire — the effective use of which may have been the driving force behind the brain's remarkable evolution. The use of rudimentary stone tools and tenuous control of fire, and having a dependent scavenging relationship with large carnivores, showed that Homo erectus did more than eke out an existence in Pleistocene. Rather it flourished, multiplied, and expanded its range.
