How did humans drink water in caveman times?

1.85K 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

Definitively, there is no answer. People used whatever vessels were available to transport water effectively. That includes animal skins, bamboo shoots, clay pots and many other receptacles…Water = life in primitive cultures and they cherish it accordingly.
