ft matters. back in those days people were not fat. makes a HUGE difference for overheated bodies

Posted by 3+4=5 on April 16, 2017 at 10:26:21:

Blubber is what whales and seals use.. Polar bears too.
In humans a thick layer of fat is also only good in cold weather.
In hot weather the layer of fat really is a danger to the human body overheating... Particularly if doing any heavy exertion.

Back in the 1950's and even 1960's most people were not fat.
Skinny to average people can bear the heat far far better than fat people can.
So it is NOT TRUE anymore, that people can deal with the heat. Unless you happen to have a lean body mass.

And yes I also currently am a close cousin to the whale... if it matters..
