Use of fire and the invention of the wheel

I gained a lot of insight concerning how prehistoric man utilized fire and also the processes leading to the invention of the wheel. I must say that being one who believes in creation by intelligent design I was not aware of the scientific view of the uses of fire by prehistoric man. It is evident that scientist have spent a lot of time coming up with theories when the first uses of fire began and how it was used. Although scientist have not come to a complete consensus on how everything happened by observing the data presented I can see it’s correlations to personal transformation. The advent of one invention can revolutionize one’s life. According to the article it is demonstrated how the control of fire can lead the transformation in the life of a prehistoric man. This transformation is believed to be one of the events that ushered prehistoric man into evolving into what we recognize now as the homo sapien. Also the invention of the wheel has revolutionized trade, travel, and other aspects of our life. It is evident in both articles that these events have shaped mankind but what is interesting is that these changes were not over night but came through a process. Although I do not believe in evolution I believe in the process of evolution. What I mean is as individual through experience and learning we continue to evolve as individual and we recognize this as personal growth. I believe as a pre teaching intern I’m being asked to read this kind of material because it as relates to transformation. Transformation is essential when we are learning as future educator how to deal with different cultures, religions, people and environments. My process of change has already begun but one thing I can observe through this process of change we will constantly reminded that as long as we live it will not end. Finally through these articles one can observe that with an open mind for innovation and change any thing can be possible. Now understanding this we can use it as a tool to motivate learners to reach greater heights in learning and help them realize their fullest potential.
