BBC went for stylised; an idea of fireside life? (inc musical instrument not appropriate for period)
NYT & Nat Geo used BM-sourced illustration; beautiful but details inc anatomy questionable?

Based on Google News results, all but three major news sites used some variation of "human" or "people" to report this. Those that didn't?
BBC & The Guardian used "man" (now altered)... and GB news used "cavemen" (I'd bet deliberately)

We’re not in the nineteenth century FFS. There’s a better word and it is “Humans”.
And secondly - who the f£&k thought HUMANS only learned to control fire 50,000 years ago???!!!
