Human: In what era is it believed that Man first discovered fire?

Assistant: It’s thought that Neanderthals or Homo erectus created fire at some point.  Some historians suggest as early as 500,000 years ago, though others think that the fire may have been in use by Homo erectus much earlier, perhaps as long as a million years ago.  I’ll look for more specific information.  Do you want me to do some research on this topic for you?
