CHeck this website out and this theory out and then come back this forum guys! https://sites.google.com/site/humanhabitatproject/home Optimal human habitat? what is it?

So most agree that there is no healthiest environment/habitat and that we are naturally nomadic and this allowed us to become who we are today? Is it possible that each specific individual is best suited for a specific location? Instead of me implying that the entire human species is best suited for one place. just had a random thought though The ability to use shelter protects us from predators, weather, keeps us safe, and allows us to sleep better because of the absence of noise and the fear of predators at night.... Then this in a sense alleviates stress which would allow us to be healthier and live longer..

interesting... SO we can always re create a man made natural type habitat but... what is the best natural human habitat? Would reverting back to living in the Savanna in Africa have any benefit to health? or the regions where our closest relatives the bonobos lives? All primates seem to live near the equator in a sense... IS there any reason why a human would live better in say Costa Rica than they would in Southern Asia.. I just have trouble seeing how we have evolved to "thrive" in every habitat. I know we can do it. We are intellegent.. we can find a way to live anywhere including the moon... but Im talking OPTIMAL and NATURAL. A habitat best suited for us.. Where we are supposed to be... Just like polar bears are supposed to live in the Arctic and Lions are supposed to live on the African Savanna...

Im talking from more of a naturalist standpoint though. Living like a wild human without modern conveniences.. Except for some form of shelter

yes I do believe that our skin tones have something to do with the envioronment we are best suited for. Since a major major part of our evolution happened in the African Savanna does that mean it could be our current optimal habitat, or have we evolved past that? or does ethnicity play a big role in where your natural habitat is? I just always thought that the great apes our in the natural/optimal habitat right now so why shouldnt there be a location best for us? in my head there is this theory that there is specific location I should be in and be living in.. with the perfect temperature and all natural food that my body is supposed to be eating, with the proper amount of sunshine, etc.... Or did us leaving Africa completely help humans evolve even more? Is the African Savanna the same as it was in the days of our early ancestors.

It just confuses me how we could have evolved in such a small amount of time... I had this idea in my head that there is somewhere where humans are meant to live. All the natural food we are supposed to eat is there and everything we are trying to do today is to recreate or mimic our natural environment.... and to live in this natural environment would bring optimal health to a person. I am Caucasian does that mean I am more adapted to living in "Europe" than living in "Africa" and would it be "optimal" for me to live in europe? I know this sound stupid the way I am stringing my questions together lol.. just been pondering for a while now... There is nobody who can survive naked in freezing temperatures so I know cold climates are not "optimal" So a native African who lives off the land in the Savanna could adapt and thrive just as well and live just as long if he/she were to move directly to Costa Rica? Going from one climate to another and now eating local vegetation and local seafood, different amounts of sunlight, etc...

Ive always been into health and healthy living. Ive been in a phase of studying evolutionary theories for a a few months now and have some questions! The "Out of Africa Theory" makes sense and I tend to lend towards believing it. Obviously humans all spread out eventually to places all around the world but it got me to thinking... are we living in the right place? All other animals tend to stay in there natural habitat. I mean, the great apes and primates are all still in Africa! Maybe we should be there still? What would happen to a chimpanzee if you suddenly placed a group of them in the South American Rainforest... would they survive and thrive? or do only humans have this ability? SO.... Is there a natural habitat for humans? and is there an optimal habitat? Obviously living in the Arctic in the dead of winter is not the optimal or natural human habitat. Do I go back to our early ancestors who might I have lived in the trees in the rainforest to discover our natural habitat? Do I go back to when we first wandered out of the rainforest and stumbled onto the Savanna in Africa? Is our natural habitat our optimal habitat? Does skin color and evolution play a role in what our optimal habitat might now be? We all tend to want to be in warm conditions (70-85) degrees.. I want to live a harmonious natural life one day! and am wondering about the right location for it! So my two main questions are the following and I have been pondering them for some time.. Is there a natural human habitat? (African Savanna, Tropical Rainforest, etc) Is there an OPTIMAL human habitat? (some where we would survive longest and thrive the best)
