Return to History 8 Human Origins Concepts H. sapiens have been able to expand their frontiers to all terrestrial environments around the world for a myriad of reasons. Firstly, H. sapiens are both hunters and gatherers, and the resource of food can essentially keep them alive for an extended period of time. Furthermore, fire has enabled humans to adapt to various cold climates. Humans are able to utilize their abstract thinking to provide solutions to the problem at hand, rather than mere instinctual reactions (building shelter, creating languages.)
