Actually, Todd is correct. At the very minimum, domestication of fire is
required to render the animal fat required to make pemmican. Domestication
of fire and subsequent cooking techniques derived therefrom are forms of
technology. As Ray says, if our evolution presupposed the domestication of
fire, we'd have Bic lighters for thumbs.
