Not just the heat though- water is the problem, as that gets scarcer, folk can't live in the place. Agreed. We think there is a "problem" at the minute with migration, you wait a decade or two, there could be ten times the current number pushing to get into Europe Quote

I know humans are pretty much are, irrespective of colour/creed kind of "built" the same, but there must be something that makes people born and bred for many generations in certain locals deal with those environments better - or is it down to clothing 😃 - do we need to start sporting loin clothes in the summer and seal furs in the winter? Humans adapt to their environment, part of the evolutionary build, so you are correct. not just heat and cold, people in the Himalayas for example, have better oxygen retention capacity so they can live comfortably at higher altitudes and we’d struggle to walk up hill there, ling capacity is also higher in communities that depend on free diving for fish in remote islands etc * *courtesy of the national geographic magazine I’ve coincidentally just been reading in the dentist Quote
