fire has been about forever and the first chimp that ever morphed into a bloke would have been wandering around scratching his hairy chimp-man arse and 'doing the windmill' when he would have seen lightning belt a tree or something, so basically he discovered it and was bored one day so rubbed two sticks together and thought, 'christ, i can make this stuff too, mint', when his little twigs exploded into a blaze in his hairy lap, hahaha, i would have laughed if i could have seen that, oh god i would have, and then the first chimp-man that was clever enough to just one day, you know, build a fully functioning house, would have maybe been the first person to see a house burn down cos he was rubbing two sticks together in his living room or something, hairy idiot...
