TEXT Background and Purpose This topic is of great interest and importance to Homo sapiens, given that, the impact of climate change on Homo sapiens, is as old as Homo sapiens itself, since it is believed that there would not have been Homo sapiens without climate change. Homo sapiens, actually evolved from the other Homo species as an adaptation to climate change. Homosapiens, is the species that all living human beings on this planet today belong to. Ancient histriographic records assert that during a time of unprecedented sudden climate change in the middle pleistocene, dating about 300,000 years ago, Homo sapiens actually evolved. Homo sapiens existed and lived in a very similar pattern to the then contemporaneous ,but now extinct “archaic humans” that were living at the very ancient times such as the Homo neanderthalensis, Homo heidelbergensis, Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis, Homo erectus, Homo antecessor, Homo floresiensis , and Homo naledi.(The Smithsonian Institute, February 2, 2021) Homo sapiens collected edible food items, chased and captured other animals to achieve a proteineous diet , and created ,invented and acquired demenours and attributes that assisted them to adapt to the difficulties and enigma of sustenance in harsh and unpredictable physiographic,ecological and environmental conditions espoused by the then ‘climate change’. That this climate change instigated the evolutionary trend of the Homos, into the more encephalized and mentally, socially, culturally, morally psychologically, physically and economically advanced Homo sapiens with a developmental and progressive mindset, drives home the point in the wise saying, which has stood the test of time to this day that “necessity is the mother of invention”. .[Onyekwelu E. 2020] Similarly attempts to mitigate and adapt to climate change still drives the advancement and development of Homo sapiens as it did in the distant past, as I will discuss further latter in this text. .[Onyekwelu E. 2020] Were it not for the inspiration of the rigors of the impact of climate change, about three hundred thousand years ago,Homo sapiens would have been still be conceited with existing and living in the wild with the other wild animals till this day as the other Homos ‘archaic humans’ then did in the pleistocene period.[Onyekwelu E. 2020] For a long time before the appreciation of the untoward influence of climate change on human health, on the average, overall the health impact of hyperthermia and heat stroke has received a considerably less attention compared to hypothermia even in the heat prone regions between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.[Onyekwelu E. 2020] It is almost a geographical and climatology axiom before the onset of climate change,that almost always the temperate regions were exempt from the impact of hyperthermia and heat strokes, compared to those of hypothermia and cold injuries. .[Onyekwelu E. 2020] However, the scenario depicted and represented in this linked index article is another proof that the temperate regions even with very wintry weather conditions during the winter periods may not be exempt from hyperthermias during the summer periods and also occasionally, exceptionally outside the summer periods due to the unanticipated impacts of climate change instigation of deleterious global warmings in previously very chilly physiographic regions.
