Given that humans must have "always" known that carving a hole in something is easier if you use your wrist to reciprocally rotate the tool, I'd be inclined to suspect that both hole-making and firestarting with a bow drill were invented more or less contemporaneously.
Yes, but didn’t our wrists evolve because of all the fire-starting?
Arsonists being more developed hominids?
Arsonist wouldnt exist if there was nt general fascination with fire in most people.
Neanderthals existed just fine without it for some time, interestingly.
