: How did human beings learn that wax can be used as fuel for candles?
In: 40
The discovery of fire goes back a million years and presumably bipedal primates have burned things out of experimentation since then for heat. Oil and oil-like compounds used as a fuel dates back as far as 1000 BC. So put those two together, it wasn’t long until someone realized that wax was a good fuel source.
