Ignition Component fuel moisture (FFM) which expresses the effective moisture content of the fine fuels. The closer the initial temperature of the fuel is to the ignition temperature, the more likely a fire will result when a firebrand in introduced into the fine fuel complex, since not a much energy is required to raise the fuel particle to its ignition temperature. Ignition Component The Ignition Component is a number which relates the probability that a fire will result if a firebrand is introduced into a fine fuel complex. The ignition component can range from 0 when conditions are cool and damp, to
Archaic humans Archaic humans A number of varieties of "Homo" are grouped into the broad category of archaic humans in the period contemporary to and predating the emergence of the earliest anatomically modern humans ("Homo sapiens") over 315 ka. The term typically includes "Homo neanderthalensis" (430+–38ka), "Denisovans", "Homo rhodesiensis" (300ka–125ka), "Homo heidelbergensis" (600ka–200ka), and "Homo antecessor". There is no universal consensus on this terminology, and varieties of "archaic humans" are included under the binomial name of either "Homo sapiens" or "Homo erectus" by some authors. Archaic humans had a brain size averaging 1,200 to 1,400 cubic centimeters, which overlaps with the range
