Seeing as how nobody mentioned this yet, I would like to see man making fire for the first time.
Grog the Sweaty and Gorg the Smelly setting around a pile of rocks, playing the now forgotten game of thumb chicken. You smash rocks together with your hands till somebody smashes their thumb and hollers in pain, resulting in loss. I could imagine Grog getting some flint or maybe some mica, or something like that, and a good striking rock out of luck. Mayhaps smashing his thumbs together right as the rocks sparked, mayhap setting his fuzzy furry tunic on fire, or mayhap his beard. Grog was renamed on the spot, now known as Grog the Burning, running around and setting everything ablaze, as stop drop and roll had not been invented yet. I also imagine it was around this time that humankind discovered profanity, obcene words spoken in the burning heat of anger, or mayhap crushing pain. With the profanity, the running, the gyrations and moving, and pyrotechnics, the birth of rock and roll also happened, as the two stones that smashed Grog the Burning's thumbs and ignited Grog's tunic rolled away as he flew into a panic. Women fainted at Grog's now Godlike status, and children squealed as their ears burned from the strange words. Surely there was no man who was manlier then Grog the Burning.
Also during this time, the Human Parasite was born, as Gorg became what would some day be called an agent. Five clam shells to see the burning man!

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
