Hominids is a term that describes all the great apes, including humans. Therefore, the term is also used to describe the ancestors of humans that are now extinct. Fire allowed these early humans to cook their food, get warmth and protection from insects and predators. Moreover, making fire also allowed activity such as socializing, at night. Most likely, the use of fire also allowed hominids to adjust to colder climates.
The main grievance of the colonists leading up to the Revolution was
that Britain was taxing them too heavily. Less taxation would have led
to less protest, which could have inevitably led to the colonies staying
under British possession.
