Can someone tell me what Darwin theory is? Is it related to thermodynamics? Does it have something to do with the way a foot leaves an impression in a mud brick?

12,000 years ago is about when we as humans decided to stop picking up our entire lives and moving on every winter.
Or, possibly more accurately, when the semi permanent settlements we'd been using became permanent either because the crops we'd been working at raising started doing really well, and/or, because moving just wasn't an option anymore.
About 40,000 years ago we started painting, and doing other creative things.
200,000 years ago the first modern humans evolved in Africa. It took 100,000 years before we were capturing fast moving prey. Another 50 thousand to wipe out all of our bipedal competitors.
First thing we did was domesticate dogs. We've found evidence of dogs being part of our tribes as early as ≈200,000 years ago. I'm honestly not sure which came first, fire or dogs.
Fire.
Control of fire and cooking food predates humans. It's part of the reason we developed such large brains.
