      Hi Nilokoko,

      Humans are a tropical animal – we can live without clothes in a temperature above 25 degrees Centigrade, but below that we’d get too cold! Since we moved to live in other places as well as Africa, we’ve had to be quite inventive with building houses and heating them and making warm clothes so we don’t freeze to death!

      🙂 Sarah
