How did humans drink water in caveman times?

1.93K views

Not necessarily ~where~ humans found water – I understand it was lakes, streams, etc. – but our bodies seem so unnaturally built for hunching over a lake and drinking water. We don’t have 4 legs like other animals so we can’t do it very easily and I imagine it would hurt your back to be leaning over water like that. Did they scoop it up with their hands or something? I’m just curious if anyone definitively knows the answer to this. Thanks

Pottery is pretty old.

I would expect that they would figure out how to carve bowls out of wood with stone axes.

I’m hardly an expert, but I do know the idea of a caveman only having the tech level of a club is pretty wrong. Also, I suppose “caveman” spans a pretty huge amount of human history.
