  2. Human body temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_temperature

    t. e. Normal human body temperature (normothermia, euthermia) is the typical temperature range found in humans. The normal human body temperature range is typically stated as 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F). [8][9] Human body temperature varies. It depends on sex, age, time of day, exertion level, health status (such as illness and ...

  3. Human thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_thermoregulation

    Human thermoregulation. As in other mammals, human thermoregulation is an important aspect of homeostasis. In thermoregulation, body heat is generated mostly in the deep organs, especially the liver, brain, and heart, and in contraction of skeletal muscles. [ 1 ] Humans have been able to adapt to a great diversity of climates, including hot ...

  4. Effects of climate change on human health - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change...

    The projected annual average temperature of above 29 °C for these regions would be outside the "human temperature niche" – a suggested range for climate biologically suitable for humans based on historical data of mean annual temperatures (MAT) – and the most affected regions have little adaptive capacity as of 2020.

  5. Cold and heat adaptations in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_and_heat_adaptations...

    Body temperature varies in every individual, but the average internal temperature is 37.0 °C (98.6 °F). [1] Sufficient stress from extreme external temperature may cause injury or death if it exceeds the ability of the body to thermoregulate. Hypothermia can set in when the core temperature drops to 35 °C (95 °F). [2]

  6. Thermal comfort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_comfort

    Thermal comfort is the condition of mind that expresses subjective satisfaction with the thermal environment. [1] The human body can be viewed as a heat engine where food is the input energy. The human body will release excess heat into the environment, so the body can continue to operate. The heat transfer is proportional to temperature ...

  7. Race and genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_genetics

    ISBN 978-0-309-70065-8. PMID 36989389. In humans, race is a socially constructed designation, a misleading and harmful surrogate for population genetic differences, and has a long history of being incorrectly identified as the major genetic reason for phenotypic differences between groups.

  8. Global surface temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_surface_temperature

    The current annual GMST is about 15 °C (59 °F), [6] though monthly temperatures can vary almost 2 °C (4 °F) above or below this figure. [7] The data clearly shows a rising trend in global average surface temperatures (i.e. global warming) and this is due to emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities.

  9. Temperature record of the last 2,000 years - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_record_of_the...

    The temperature in the years 2011-2020 was 1.09 °C higher than in 1859–1890. The temperature on land rose by 1.59 °C while over the ocean it rose by 0.88 °C. [ 3 ] In 2020 the temperature was 1.2 °C above the pre-industrial era. [ 4 ] In September 2023 the temperature was 1.75 °C above pre-industrial level and during the entire year of ...
