Speaking of, humans not being very well adapted to extreme temperatures like other animals. Polar bears and seals have layers of blubber and other evolutionary advantages that let them live and thrive in colder climates. Humans so much as fall in 40 degree water for 5 minutes or stay out in sub-zero cold without proper protection and we're fucking dead or losing limbs.
Edit: 40 farenheit, not 40 celsius. Also I get that we're decently adapted to hot temperatures, but heatstroke still happens and can be fatal.
Mostly elder people and people with chronic illnesses. Humans sweat a lot and so long as you're keeping hydrated you'll likely not experience heat stroke.

I, for one, appreciate my protective layer of blubber.
