 Why do you think early human liked to live in natural caves ??????

We don't really know that they did. It seems to be somethat that has just been assumed, like other sweeping assumptions about prehistoric life. it is more likely that they did build themselves shelters, just like surviving hunter-gatherer societies do in the present time.

I don't know of any present-day hunter-gatherer societies that live in caves, and it seems unlikely that our remote ancestors would have considered them suitable dwelling-places. They certainly used them for ritual purposes, as with the cave paintings that have been found, but living in them is a different matter altogether.

Human occupation of caves dates to some time within the Paleolithic period (2 million to 10,000 years ago) of the Stone Age, when early hominids first began to create and use stone tools. This period also saw the evolution of the human species into true modern humans, Homo sapiens. Caves were obvious natural shelters for early humans, offering effective protection from the elements. However, scientists theorize that before early humans would have been able to safely live in caves, they would have needed fire-making skills in order to drive out cave-dwelling predators and keep others at a distance outside. Chinese caves contain some of the earliest evidence of human use of fire, approximately 400,000 years ago, though scientists believe that the earliest use of fire may have occured about 100,000 years before that.
