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

I mean it’s not the how I’m intersted in, what did they do when they got Giardia and other illnesses common in un-boiled/filtered water, they would have been shitting their guts out on the daily.
