    Early humans tried to preserve naturally occurring fires but were unaware they could create fire themselves. Some of the earliest man-made fire methods involved creating friction by rapidly spinning a wooden stick in a round hole or using percussion and chipping methods, which were used in Europe and by cultures like the Chinese and Eskimos until the 1850s despite the earlier discovery of phosphorus.
