DECREASES in temperatures above mid-80 degrees Fahrenheit"
This doesn't sound good evolutionary sense. What about babies in the
tropics, where you have temps constantly high? think about the middle-east
in the summer. I remember being in one of those arab airports a while back
in the evening. It was dusk and still 42oC. No idea what that is in oF but
it is extreme heat, not just tropical carribean. Back to the point, what
happens to babies in these climates then, when living in these temperatures
(and not everyone has airconditioning!)??We are not talking a few days of
heat wave either. In Deli, India, almost the whole summer was around +40oC.
What are the sucking frequencies in inuit populations?
