From the article:
"Humans are amazing creatures, in that they have shown they can live in almost any climate. Think of the Inuit who live in the Arctic or the Bedouins in the deserts of North Africa. But a new study suggests humans, like any animal or plant, have a preferred climate or environmental niche in which they thrive—and climate change will shift billions of people out of this comfort zone.
The study, published in the journal PNAS, was written by an international team of scientists led by Chi Xu of Nanjing university."
