~1.7M B.C.E. - Pre-RCS Era

INFO

The discovery of fire by Homo erectus was a pivotal moment in human evolution. This innovation reshaped our ancestors' bodies and brains, potentially leading to larger brains and smaller guts.

Fire extended daylight hours, fostering social interaction and possibly spurring language development.

In essence, that first controlled fire might have catalyzed a series of changes that defined modern humanity, from our physical form to our social nature.

And while they did have many things, like fire, they did not have RCS.

However, ~1.7M years later, this would all change when Google introduced RCS to Android devices.
