Human's Physical Adaptation Ability

A Greater Adaptation Ability Than Chameleons: Humans

As the weather gets cold and it snows, a question may arise in our minds: Which creature is physically best adapted to its environment? When this question is posed, the first answer almost everyone will give is usually the chameleon.

However, when viewed from a different perspective, humans can be considered the organism that best adapts, is strongest, and most compatible with its environment. The main reason for this is that humans can live in temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius at the equator, while simultaneously surviving in conditions below minus 40 degrees Celsius at the poles.

There is an important difference that separates humans from chameleons, who can adapt to both extreme conditions; humans can achieve this adaptation only over time. Taking someone living at the equator to the poles, or someone from the poles to the equator, in a short period can lead to the detriment of both.

On the other hand, when this change is organized over a process, humans exhibit an incredible capacity for adaptation. This indicates that humans possess a greater physical adaptation ability than even chameleons.
