Which type of hominin was the first to use fire?

Homo erectus was the first to use fire. It took millions of years to discover fire. It was discovered when lightning burnt something. The people from the homo erectus clans then started making it with sticks and stones looking out for little sparks. This technique is still used today by some people and others use our improved technology.Like Handy Man, hominids in the Upright Man group were toolmakers. But with their larger brains,they were able to invent more complex tools, including strong hand-axes made of stone. Upright Man's greatest advantage was the ability to use fire. Anthropologists have found burned animal bones in the same places as Upright Man remains. This clue means that Upright Man probably used fire to cook animal meat.Scientists aren't sure whether these hominids were hunters or wheher they found dead animals to eat.
