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

Well… If you’d need to drink water without a cup. How would you do it?
Actually this is something you can easily figure out. Take a toddler who can walk and drink themselves. Put down a bucket of water, and watch how they drink it. They are too young to have learned more complex behaviours and culturally tied behaviours. They run purely by instinct.
What I have observed kids do in the park when they decide that that muddy pool of water is most delicious thing, the squat down and cup it with their hand and sip it.
Toddlers are amazing way to research basic human behaviour. Too young to have learned cultural behaviours, but old enough to act themselves and with instinct.
