Considering humans have poor eye sight in the dark carrying a torch was basically was how they could see at night, also they'd make a shelter then start a campfire with the torch to stay warm anyway, then search or whatever during the day when they can see what's around them better then what they could at night. And a sudden surprise would cause a fight or flight response.
