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 grew up in a mountainous region where we did not have utensils available once in the outside. We either kneeled down and drank with over mouths touching the water. Or we used cupped hands to drink if feeling more graceful.
Water in our streams was probably not 100% safe. It did result in a lot of Gastro related long term issues but never a short term diarrhoea type issues.
