When we go to visit a very cold place, we generally wear a warm jacket or a sweater to protect ourselves from the cold. Do you think it is an adaptation? Why or why not?
Answers
Explanation:
Cold weather does not get you sick. Feeling chilly because you’re not bundled up does not get you sick.
But being cold – like when you’re outside in wintry weather wearing just a thin shirt – can actually weaken your body and make it easier for you to get sick. Researchers have shown that cold temperatures weaken your immune system and thus your ability to fight off infections. In fact, the longer time you spend in the cold, the higher your risk of actually getting sick.
Answer:
I think that it is an adaptation but neither a permanent one nor a natural one. We wear jackets to keep ourselves warm. But, we won't be wearing it for long enough to completely suit ourselves to our surroundings. I can also conclude that it is not an adaptation.
