How did humans drink water in caveman times?

1.91K 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

I frequently drink water just by cupping my hands together and drinking out of the gap formed by my palms. It’s not hard. I assume there are other techniques.
