Temperature of the Human Body

Index Entry

Temperature of the Human Body:

"For an instance, the heating of the hydrosphere

Involves the fact that water takes on heat and loses it

At the slowest known rate of all substances.

As a consequence the temperature of the watery mantle

Covering three-quarters of Earth

Vary between such close limits

That the world average temperatures throughout the years

Have varied less than one degree Fahrenheit

Over all the years in which temperatures

Have been recorded around the world.

Within these exquisitely stable electro, thermal, chemical limits

The metabolic regeneration of humans is sustained

As the apparently ultimate focal formulation

Of the metabolic interchangings and intertransformings

Of the total evolution of bio-ecological intercomplementation."
