1. About 800,000 years ago, fire was controlled by early humans.

2. About 6 million years ago most early human species became bipedal.

I think that the Australopithecus garhi was the first.

The homo heidelbergensis about 700 to 200 million years ago.

 

5.       Which species survived for the longest time? For how long?

The homo erectus survived about 1.89 million to 110,000 years ago, they was the species that survived the most.
