Natural Selection. The cells in the body require a certain temperature to work well, to far from that temperature and cells start dying off. Our nerve cells send pain signals when they are cold to warn us to get somewhere warmer.

Those that didn’t feel pain from cold didn’t have enough children to pass down the No cold pain genes, likely because they died out from being to cold.
