I also wonder about our historical ability to carry water with us in containers. Presumably this decreases the need to retain water physiologically.

  I was thinking this; pottery is one of the oldest recognisable technologies, at approximately thirty thousand years old.

    People likely used gourds and animal skins to carry water even before developing pottery.

      Yeah, and pottery is great for stationary storage of water but poor for portable water storage… the pot can weigh almost as much empty as the water it contains!
