Examples of Human Adaptation

Diets are an example of human adaptation because the food available depends on the geographical area where humans live.

For example, the Inuit eat a lot of seal and fish because those are the most abundant sources of food in the artic, while the Mediterranean diet is abundant in fruits and vegetables because the climate of the Mediterranean is warm, and many crops grow there.

Examples of Human  Modification

Aqueducts are a form of human modification. They are physical structures used to carry water from one place to another, and they can be built above ground or underground. The Romans were famous builders of acqueducts.

Examples of both

Wells are like a rudimentary aqueduct. They are digged in the ground to obtain water from underground sources, and represent both a human adaptation and modification at the same time.
