Whoever first domesticated fire. Whatever his name was, I forgot.
That was Ug. Really cool guy. His golf swing was immaculate, too.
Every hole, a hole in one.
And then his grandson invented the number two.
I'd bet fire was involved in his/her name. Either fire was named after the inventor or the inventor was named after fire.

I mean, that could actually be many people for all we know. Back that far it's hard to even pin down the millennia something happened.
Fire domestication happened before our species even existed. Who ever did it, made us possible. Great answer.
