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

How does a chimp drink water?
They died a lot. The human population during the caveman times is estimated at being under 100 million people. Three out of four children did not make it to adulthood. After we figured out how to boil water the population on this planet spiked. The Romans built a giant empire because of clean water.
Have you not seen a child pla and drink water?
Before we were human our ancestors were probably using skulls to store and drink water. Homo Erectus carved skulls into what we are pretty sure are bowls and cups.
Here’s google’s first result for a picture of one.

Pottery is pretty old.
I would expect that they would figure out how to carve bowls out of wood with stone axes.
I’m hardly an expert, but I do know the idea of a caveman only having the tech level of a club is pretty wrong. Also, I suppose “caveman” spans a pretty huge amount of human history.
Have you heard of evolution? It will blow your mind!
Have you ever played in the bush or near a creek as a kid and got thirsty?
