A recent analysis of temperature trends suggests that the average human body temperature has dropped since the 19th century due to physiological changes. The authors of the new study also highlight ...

Over the past few decades, evidence has been mounting that the average human body temperature is not really 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Instead, most people’s baseline is a little bit cooler. The ...

For decades, 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit has been the widely accepted “normal” average temperature for the human body. But new research adds to the growing body of evidence that humans actually run a bit ...

Over the past 150 years, researchers have seen the average human body temperature drop by more than half a degree Fahrenheit (-0.3 °C). In a new study from the University of Michigan, scientists ...

Body Normal Temperature: The normal body temperature of a human body is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit or 37 degrees Celsius. When the body temperature rises above this, it is called fever or 'jwar'. Fever ...

What's considered normal body temperature varies from person to person, yet overall, the average basal temperature of the human body has decreased since the 1860s for unknown reasons. A study points ...

In a recent article, a number of scientists at Stanford (Protsiv et al.) raised the puzzling question of why the average human body temperature has decreased since the Industrial Revolution. Our ...
