It also seems like this is part of why there were so many powerhouses around the mediterranean, the climate there is just right that you can work a lot without melting, and warm enough that it’s comfortable to walk basically naked.
And it makes sense when you consider that humans evolved for a comparatively sedate lifestyle (even hunting isn’t going to involve sprinting that much) in subsaharan africa.

So are you saying that people who sweat more in hot environments are better suites for long distance hunting? Because I’m a gross, sweaty motorcycle and I would like to feel better about it

This podcast will kill you has an episode on sweat and how it’s a superpower.
My meds make me sweat a lot so I must be super powered.

Probably not I’m sorry. Sweating enough so that the sweat evaporates as fast as it excretes from your pores is optimal. Skin being more wet doesn’t cool faster (drops of sweat falling off you don’t cool you), so excess sweat would just dehydrate you faster. Sorry
