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 caveman camp when I can, used to be once a year for a week or two, now it’s getting harder to get the time, but, basically, pick my spot, and leave my boots in the car.
Far as water, I can’t think of a time I made a tool for it. I did one time do some water powered tools, but that was late summer, was a real easy trip. Got bored.
Just used my hands. A good supply of clean water is the absolute most important part of picking a site. Second is tool material. Not all rock is good for making tools, but, usually I’m looking in the creek for rocks, so, that’s sorta a twofer to find a good creek.
Though, cause the subject got brought up, and I’m thinking about it, next time, I’m gonna use river cane to make a little fountain to drink out of. Take 10 minutes top and sounds nice
