One of the earliest found fire pits used by humans is from approximately
250,000 years ago. Located in Israel on the ancient shores of Gesher Benot
Ya’aquov Lake, these fire pits unearthed evidence of human remains as well
as some of their dietary habits and tools that were used. Some of the
remains pertaining to their diet included wild barley and grapes. Recently,
Anthropologists have come to the conclusion that due to these early humans
use of fire to cook their food it led to some extraordinary changes in
human’s evolution process, which included creating weaker jaw muscles
enabling a more diverse diet. Due to the deconstructive aspect that
uncontained fire presents our early relatives were fore thinking enough to
contain it in one area usually by the use of stones surrounding a pit that
was dug deep. Since then fire pits have evolved into some beautiful works of
