    Oldest evidence of deliberate fire use found in England Humans may have made fire 350,000 years earlier than previously thought, scientists say.

The site, a former clay pit near the village of Barnham, contains a hearth made by Neanderthals about 415,000 years ago.

Researchers identified the remains of a repeatedly used campfire, including heated clay, flint tools shattered by intense heat and two pieces of iron pyrite – a mineral that sparks when struck against flint to ignite tinder. “We think humans brought pyrite to the site with the intention of making fire. And this has huge implications, pushing back the earliest fire-making,” said archaeologist Nick Ashton, curator of Palaeolithic Collections at the British Museum in London. While there are even older signs of humans using naturally occurring wildfires in Africa, this is the earliest proof that people knew how to start their own fires.

Controlled flames allowed ancient hunter-gatherers to live in colder environments, cook food, and protect themselves from predators. Cooking also helped our ancestors get more energy from meat, roots and tubers, fuelling the growth of larger brains and enabling communities to support more people. Scientists say fire likely transformed social life as well. It brought people together at night to share warmth, food and conversation, possibly encouraging storytelling, language and cultural beliefs. Advertisement “The campfire becomes a social hub,” British Museum archaeologist and study co-author Rob Davis said. “We’re a species who have used fire to really shape the world around us – and now we know this is something Neanderthals were doing far earlier than we thought, just like us.” The evidence at Barnham suggests repeated fire use at temperatures above 700 degrees Celsius (1,292 degrees Fahrenheit), pointing to deliberate fire-starting rather than reliance on natural flames. The team spent four years testing the materials to confirm the hearth’s age and human origin. The finding supports the view that Neanderthals, and possibly their close relatives such as the Denisovans, were far more innovative than once assumed, sharing key survival skills long before the emergence of modern-day humans.

    Global Trade to Surpass $35 Trillion in 2025 — UNCTAD GENEVA — December 9, 2025 Global trade in goods and services is expected to exceed $35 trillion in 2025 for the first time, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). Despite challenges such as geopolitical tensions, rising costs, and uneven demand, trade continued to expand in the second half of 2025. UNCTAD projects a 7% year-on-year increase, adding $2.2 trillion compared to last year. The report highlights that growth is being driven by higher trade volumes rather than price inflation, reflecting stable global demand. 📊 Regional Highlights: East Asia recorded the strongest export growth at 9%, with intra-regional trade rising 10%. Africa and South-South trade also showed robust gains, underscoring the rising role of emerging economies. UNCTAD noted a growing trend of friendshoring and nearshoring — shifting trade toward politically aligned or geographically closer partners — which is reshaping global trade patterns. Looking ahead, the agency forecasts slower growth in 2026, citing weaker global activity, rising debt burdens, higher trade costs, and persistent uncertainty.
