Water, inside and out. Dune (the book) had a great quote about the best place for water is inside you.
Humans evolved to deal with heat, and yes, later cold, but our roots are in Africa. So many ways to cool with water, you find strategies that work.
Staying small is huge (heh). The square cube law is a thing. If you took my skinny hide and spread it out on top of a tall fat man, it would be fairly close. But our volume would be drastically different.

Being fat in hot climates is miserable. Had to take a shower after going to get the mail in the summer. In the mid 40s(5-8C?) and I’d be going around in a long sleeve shirt. By the time I should start to get cold, my body’s warmed up or I’m in a conditioned place.
