How did humans drink water in caveman times?

1.86K 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’m not sure anyone will have a concrete answer for this because I have a hard time believing we definitively know the answer. But scooping seems to be the most ergonomic answer.
