Going by evolution theory (yes, theory) Humans evolved on the plains of the African savanna where they foraged for root vegetables and hunted game..
Agree/Disagree
Discuss.

Didn't they evolve on the highlands above 1000m? Isn't Pretoria supposed to be the birthplace of humankind? Seems it would make more sense for humans to evolve around the eastern part of Africa like Kenya, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe etc. Instead of the lower altitude rainforests like Congo.

Judging by indoor temperature, probably everything between San Diego and Santa Barbara on the immediate coastline.
Ponta Delgada, Funchal, Sagres, Tarifa, the East African highlands, coastal South Australia and New Zealand from Hastings/Tauranga and up et cetera are other good shouts.

Well early humans didn't have clothes and houses and central heating etc... those are all things that have come about as people have started to live in higher latitudes. I believe humans were originally evolved to live in tropical climates, from a biological standpoint.

Yeah...nah. Europeans evolved from a separate subspecies—Neanderthal.

I think a 30/20 climate makes most sense for naked humans

Humans are naturally adapted for warm/hot climates, we evolved in eastern Africa, so naturally we're suited to similar climates. I'd say island climates such as those found in the Caribbean and Canary Islands are pretty ideal for human survival, in a primitive sense.

Not at all evolution makes the most sense but I'd say its still a theory because we don't have a time machine.

Most of the med would be far too cold for unclothed humans in winter.

The exact stage at which clothes developed is strongly contested.

Is this thread about the first hominids or the first homo sapiens? The time scale is quite different, you know.
