Herto Man is the closest related hominid to modern humans who lived about 160,000 years ago in Herto Bouri, Ethiopia. The closest city that I could find to this location is Dire Dawa. However something to keep in mind is that this was during the Pleistocene (ice age) so the climate was quite different back then.

Here's a snippet from a article ''The boundaries of survival are better established for long-term comfort. According to a 1958 NASA report, people can live indefinitely in environments that range between roughly 40 degrees F and 95 degrees F (4 and 35 degrees C), if the latter temperature occurs at no more than 50 percent relative humidity. The maximum temperature pushes upward when it's less humid, because lower water content in the air makes it easier to sweat, and thus, keep cool. '' www.livescience.com/34128-limits-human-survival.htmlBut I suspect they're talking about clothed Humans. |

Map of the migration of modern humans out of Africa, based on mitochondrial DNA. Colored rings indicate thousand years before present.  This map seems to indicate that our ancestors originated in the highlands of Cameroon ( Ngaoundéré). A very comfortable climate may I add, it has also a very interesting pattern, the months with the warmest days also have the coolest nights, and the months with the coolest days have the warmest nights. The record low is also 4.0 C (39.2F) which seems to match the NASA study. |

Pathetic lies bro!! Altea maded warm winters for wearing the bikini or no clothes. Altea beaches full of the naked human all winter long. Only cold African rock with colded winter rains you needs very very warm clothes & the heating jajajajaja... Jajajajajajajaja Malta needes full body space suit like the frozen penguin wasteland Finland with no sun jajajajajajja jajajajaja stop bashering and trollering my climate bro |

Some evidence points towards southern Africa, but the lack of archeologial evidence make us mostly guess. The San people of Southern Africa may be the human population with the deepest temporal division from all other contemporary populations, estimated at close to 130,000 years ago. A 2011 study has classified them as an "ancestral population cluster".

The difference between Humans and the great apes are many features that make Homo Sapiens more adapted to move in water - wading and swimming: The human nose that is completely different from the great apes and very well adapted to swimming forward, the lack of body hair, the long leg bones perfect for wading in coastal waters and rivers. And think about it: Where is it easier for a human without modern technology to get food: The Savannah in competition with lions and Hyenas, or the coastal areas with their abundance of different type of sea food. Also, why is it that sea food is good for our health, while red meat is bad for our health? There is enough fossil evidence to suggest that by 2 million years ago, our Homo ancestors were living and moving via the coasts through parts of Asia and Eurasia. Verhaegen believes that H. erectus was predominantly semi-aquatic, a frequent swimmer and efficient slow diver, and that wading may have come about later, as part of a move back to a more terrestrial existence, as a result of the cooling global temperatures...

The caves near the coast in south Africa /East Africa has proven more than 100,000 years of human habitation. So we are built for a climate like....Durban en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durban#ClimateSomewhat flawed. Dogs and wolves for example are naturally competent swimmers, better than an untrained human for sure, and react positively to various seafoods in their diet, but they're certainly not semi-aquatic by any measure. |

Dogs and wolves for example are naturally competent swimmers, better than an untrained human for sure, and react positively to various seafoods in their diet, but they're certainly not semi-aquatic by any measure. There is also the distinct costal subspecies of wolves in the PNW that eat large amounts of sea food. Salmon make up about 10-25% of their diet (Alexander Archipelago wolf). Salmon are attributed with allowing the sub-species to have one of the higher pup survivorship (90%) of the species. Alexander Archipelago wolfBritish Columbia wolfVancouver Island wolfAnyway Nidaros is talking about is called the Aquatic ape hypothesis which I think is a compelling hypothesis. Also there are generally thought to be 3 types of societies, hunter-gatherers, nomads, and farmers. However there was a fourth that has been largely forgotten and relegated to myth are mermaids/sirens. And no I'm not talking about the modern concept of the term, I'm talking about coastal matriarchal societies that dived for seafood, this practice barely survives in east Asia, Haenyeo, Ama. These societies were largely matriarchal since females have a higher cold tolerance and thus make better divers. Also they would sing for their breathing exercises which is where the siren myth comes from. Furthermore it is only recently that mermaids are depicted with one tail, historically they were drawn with two such as the Starbucks logo, even the statue of the little mermaid in Denmark has two finned legs. |

Was also thinking about simply living near water, like the coast, or along rivers and lakes, and gathering all kinds of food in that environment. Humans are opportunistic and adaptable, they take advantage of the posibilities they come across. |

Can they really reproduce? Yes, the insemination is as in mammals, but they put down roe as a result. |

What temperature is commonly called "room temperature?" 65F-75F. Why do we keep indoors this temperature? Because it's safe and comfortable. Why is it comfortable? Because we're adapted to that temperature range. The answer seems obvious. An example of the type of climate humans are built for: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addis_Ababa#Climate |

Like the wild city rabbits in Helsinki. They are all slate grey/brown though originally in all different colours, as the ancestors were released pet rabbits. |

I know this is a joke and all, but theoretically a mermaid would be 100% mammal since they flap their fins in an up and down motion, reptiles and fish swim with a side to side motion. Also Cetacea (whale family) are not the only aquatic mammals with fluked tails, there is also the dugong.  |

Something like these, from coolest to warmest (because we evolved around these areas):  |
