Not sure if you believe that the earth is only a few thousand years old, or you're trying to say that all people that lived 150 years ago are dead by now, but humankind has been roaming this planet for more than two million years without refrigerators.
And quite successfully, if you consider that they conquered all continents without refrigerators, except the one where you really don't need a fridge.
We are not homo erectus though. So that's a rather silly comparison.
I never said that you are homo erectus. That doesn't change the fact that homo erectus were humans. And even if you really stick to the believe that humankind only started with homo sapiens some 20000 years ago, it doesn't matter for the argument that people have survived a long time without being able to keep their food at a constant 4°C.
FYI you accidentally dropped a zero, it's 200,000 years.
It seems I'm not too good with numbers 😔 But it really doesn't matter if it's been 20k, 200k or 2M years, the point is, that it's been a long time.
