How do people know that the ape-man discovered the fire because of thunder? Later, how did they know that drilling wood can make fire and use flint?

The first ones are thunder and fire. The black fire must have lasted longer than human history, and this weather situation has existed since the birth of life on earth. Humans have "discovered" fire, and the word "discovery" is well used, that is to say, fire is not created by human beings, but exists and is perceived by human beings. Some people may say that volcanic eruptions can also produce fire, but that kind of fire is beyond human reach. When the volcano cooled down, it disappeared. Therefore, humans found that fire must come from lightning.
