Tag: Human adaptation

In regions near the North and South Poles, where temperatures plummet well below freezing, traditional diets are often very high in fat. People of the cold region eat too much fat primarily to generate the intense metabolic heat and insulation needed to survive and thrive in freezing temperatures. This practice is rooted in a combination of evolutionary adaptation, physiology, and cultural history.

Currently, Earth is the only planet known to harbor life, with over 5,500 exoplanets discovered so far, none of which perfectly match our terrestrial requirements. This makes the question 'Can humans live on other plants?' a matter of extreme scientific and technological complexity, moving it from the realm of pure science fiction toward long-term strategic planning for humanity.
