Thanks David, nice quote but for me it does not add to the pressision of the term discovery. Discovery is to unravel something that is existing yet hidden. If i understand Harold right he simply states that to harness fire there is much more needed than discovery but rather a generative and creative evolutionary design process... Its not discovery but design. In that processes there are surely moments of discovery but at large its a generative process over time.

A quote for Birger:
“The world of physical reality does not consists of meaningful
things. The world of ecological reality, as I have been trying to
describe it, does. If what we perceived were the entities of physics
and mathematics, meaning would have to be imposed on them. But if
what we perceive are the entities of environmental science, their
meanings can be discovered.”
