From warding off predators to facilitating cooking, nothing has played a greater part in human development. The social nexus and relaxation effects provided by campfires have enhanced prosocial behavior.
According to a study by Christopher Dana Lynn, fires provoke consistent blood pressure decreases and prosociality.
