Fire Animals

Fire is one of humanity's most important discoveries – and also one of the most dangerous. In this episode, Mother Nature unfolds the history of fire and humans’ intertwined relationship with this element, from the first taste of cooked meat to the combustion engine and beyond. Set in Tasmania, Australia, fire scientist Professor David Bowman offers his perspective on the importance of fire and the future of humanity. Sweet Little Human is an Orkan Media production released in collaboration with R8dio and funded by The Carlsberg Foundation. Written, edited and produced by Nikolaj Kirk, Roxanne Batty, Jens Raunkjær and Magnus Møller.
