The conquest of the dark spaces: An experimental approach to lighting systems in Paleolithic caves.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Artificial lighting was a crucial physical resource for expanding complex social and economic behavior in Paleolithic groups. Furthermore, the control of fire allowed the development of the first symbolic behavior in deep caves, around 176 ky BP.
