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

A reference I remember in the bible. [https://biblehub.com/esv/judges/7.htm](https://biblehub.com/esv/judges/7.htm)
There’s reference to men drinking from a pool of water, some lapped water like dogs, some cup their hands and bring water to their mouth.
Certainly that would lend a clue to some methods people drank water even in somewhat civilized time.
