Why people are the way they are.

Humans are amazing adaptors, we can change and survive in the most unlikely of scenarios. From cold to hot, high to low, wet to dry, we can adapt for a short time, or even a long time if we need to live. Heat is one great example of something Humans need to adapt to. More humans die from heat than cold every year, why? because heat can cause the body to overdo it and shut down. Humans adapt to this stress in several ways, by sweating, by releasing heat through the head and appendages, by slowing systems down, and craving salt. Peoples whole body structure can change to adapt to hot environments, for example, the long lean bodies of people in Africa are far better at expelling heat than the squat bodies of people in Antarctica. Because of this we should understand that we should not judge people on how they look because often there is a reason why. People in different parts of the world look different for a reason, a very good reason that has to do with their environment, studying these reasons helps us understand people better.
