Have you ever heard of lightening?

Yes. But I hear of rain, too. Rain - fire extinguisher.
Pyrophytes, plants that produce fire, grow not where there are a lot of
lightings, but where there are no clouds.. -- Mario

Man there are huge tracts of land that were burning every few years long
before humans ever walked the planet and plants adapted to live there.

Westward (the way winds blow) of Africa there is evidence of few
fold incerased burning right before of Sahelanhropus and later on. I am
prepared to see all the evidence. Show me the evidence for some other
region.
This is the most recent research. Maybe they will (by drilling the
ocean floor all over the world) construct a map of those things. When they
do that, we will have more knowlage about this. But so far, my theory is
COMPLETLY in tune with that data.
There has to be a reason for this. You say the reason is lightning
("long before humans ever walked the planets..."). We are talking about the
very time of emergence of bipedals, at wich time burning increased. I dont't
expect from you to see any connection in this. I expect that from smart
people. -- Mario
