It's pretty normal that people are always looking for the most comfortable place to stay. You can use clothing, conditioned buildings of food to reach this "comfortzone". I think this search for comfort resulted in a big loss of thermoregulating-funcions of the human-body. I'm not a real scientist, but we made a pretty big collection of thermographic images about this topic (Nutscode.com is for sale | HugeDomains). My first conclusion is that most animals are thermographicly very "goodlooking", they know how to keep there bodytemperature at a stable level. Most humans are pretty ugly when you look at them through an infrared camera. If you put a human outside in his underwear, the thermographic image would probably look something like the thermographic image of a shaven rabbit.
I didn't search the entire forum about this topic, but I would like to discuss some creative options to re-activate these skills again. Taking cold showers, thermo-neutral fashion, things like that.

The only forum this comes close to fitting in, it seems to me, is Miscellaneous Topics in Creation/Evolution. What do you think?

it's mainly about biology and behavior
It's OK with me. We get a lot of possitive feed-back from biologists, productdesigners and educators, so the forum "biological evolution", "intelligent design" or "educating evolution" would suit as well.
Would it be possible to add an image to the post'?

Would another Admin please check this?
I'm sorry, I just realized you are advertising something, which we treat as spam. This isn't a legitimate topic for discussion here.
I should have noticed this before, but I can't promote a thread about spam.

Re: Would another Admin please check this?
Hi Faith,
I think your initial reaction was understandable given the presentation of the site but I don't know if this really constitutes Spam.
arno's site certainly deosn't seem to be selling anything but rather seems to have a number of thermographic images freely available for academic use.
Given arno's willingness to actually respond I don't think this is really 'spam' in a traditional sense. It isn't any more of an advert than a link to AIG is an advert for that site.
Having said that I also don't really see this fitting into any of the forums very well, it mostly just reminds me of the 'the evolution of clothes?' thread we had a few years ago in Human Origins.
So I wouldn't reject this out of hand as spam but I might be inclined to put it into miscellaneous topics or even coffee house.
I'll leave it with you, if you still think it is too Spammy then fair enough.
TTFN,
WK

Moved
I think I'll trust your judgment and put it in Coffee House, which is the other place I had in mind for it. Thanks.
Moved to Re-activation of the human thermoregulating functions in Coffee House Forum.
