Colder than our ancestors? The average human body temperature is dropping

Research indicates that the average human body temperature has decreased from the previously accepted 37°C to around 36.4°C. This change is attributed to improved living conditions, modern medicine, and widespread vaccination. Studies show that factors such as age, gender, and time of day can influence individual body temperature, which can range from 36.1°C to 37.2°C. Modern thermometers provide more accurate readings than those used in the past, confirming this trend of lower body temperatures.
