Our recent ancestors may have run hotter — but why?

ہمارے قریبی آبا و اجداد کا جسم شاید زیادہ گرم رہتا تھا — لیکن کیوں؟

हमारे हाल के पूर्वजों का शरीर शायद ज़्यादा गर्म रहता था — लेकिन क्यों?

Our recent ancestors may have run hotter — but why?

मुख्य बातें

  • Average human body temperatures appear to have been higher 150 years ago than they are now, the BBC reports, and scientists are still exploring exactly why.
  • In the 19th century, the normal temperature was set at around 37 degrees Celsius; modern readings in industrialised countries are now closer to 36.6 degrees.
  • One leading idea is that our bodies work less hard than they used to: with better hygiene, antibiotics and sanitation, and fewer chronic infections, there is less low-level inflammation keeping the body's thermostat turned up.
  • بی بی سی کی رپورٹ کے مطابق 150 سال پہلے انسانوں کے جسم کا اوسط درجہ حرارت اب سے زیادہ معلوم ہوتا ہے، اور سائنس دان ابھی تک اس کی درست وجہ تلاش کر رہے ہیں۔ 19ویں صدی میں عام درجہ حرارت تقریباً 37 ڈگری سینٹی گریڈ مقرر کیا گیا تھا؛ اب صنعتی ملکوں میں جدید پیمائش تقریباً 36.6 ڈگری کے قریب ہے۔ ایک اہم خیال یہ ہے کہ ہمارا جسم اب پہلے جتنی محنت نہیں کرتا: بہتر صفائی، اینٹی بائیوٹکس اور نکاسی آب کی وجہ سے دائمی انفیکشن کم ہو گئے ہیں، اس لیے جسم کے اندر وہ ہلکی سوزش بھی کم ہے جو درجہ حرارت کو اوپر رکھتی تھی۔ لیکن تصویر ابھی مکمل نہیں، اور محققین ابھی یہ جانچ رہے ہیں کہ اس تبدیلی میں انفیکشن، طرز زندگی اور دیگر عوامل کا کتنا حصہ ہے۔
  • बीबीसी की रिपोर्ट के अनुसार 150 साल पहले मनुष्यों के शरीर का औसत तापमान अब से ज़्यादा प्रतीत होता है, और वैज्ञानिक अभी भी इसका सही कारण खोज रहे हैं। 19वीं सदी में सामान्य तापमान लगभग 37 डिग्री सेल्सियस तय किया गया था; अब औद्योगिक देशों में आधुनिक माप लगभग 36.6 डिग्री के करीब है। एक प्रमुख विचार यह है कि हमारा शरीर अब पहले जितनी मेहनत नहीं करता: बेहतर स्वच्छता, एंटीबायोटिक और सफाई व्यवस्था के कारण पुराने संक्रमण कम हो गए हैं, इसलिए शरीर में वह हल्की सूजन भी कम है जो तापमान को ऊपर रखती थी। लेकिन तस्वीर अभी पूरी नहीं है, और शोधकर्ता अभी यह जाँच रहे हैं कि इस बदलाव में संक्रमण, जीवनशैली और अन्य कारकों का कितना योगदान है।

Average human body temperatures appear to have been higher 150 years ago than they are now, the BBC reports, and scientists are still exploring exactly why. In the 19th century, the normal temperature was set at around 37 degrees Celsius; modern readings in industrialised countries are now closer to 36.6 degrees. One leading idea is that our bodies work less hard than they used to: with better hygiene, antibiotics and sanitation, and fewer chronic infections, there is less low-level inflammation keeping the body's thermostat turned up. But the picture is not settled, and researchers are still testing how much of the change comes from infection, lifestyle and other factors.
