I found something super interesting!
The EN and FR wikipedia state different values.
FR:
> On considère généralement que la température basale usuelle du corps humain est de 37,0 °C, [...] Une température corporelle normale se situe entre 36,1 °C et 37,8 °C
Baseline : 37C. Normal range, [36.1 - 37.8]
EN:
No baseline, provided,just a range:
> The normal human body temperature range is typically stated as 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F).
The French version explains that for a long time, until the 1980s, everybody assumed correct a study made in 1868 about the body temperature that found 37.0 - 37.5 to be the normal range in healthy adults.
It suggests that the declining prevalence of infections in the population may be the exaplanation of the lowering of the average body temperature.
After all, one of the main causes of rising temperature is an active immune system. Lower temperatures in the population are actually good news.
