How did humans drink water in caveman times?

1.92K 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

Before we were human our ancestors were probably using skulls to store and drink water. Homo Erectus carved skulls into what we are pretty sure are bowls and cups.

Here’s google’s first result for a picture of one.
