Why does the temperature of humans is 37 degrees C?

Scientists have found a reason why the temperature of our body is 37 degrees C (or 98.6 degrees F). Viewed from the overall, it was found that temperature is a balance, but the body is warm it necessary to prevent the development of fungal infection and not so hot as to make their body we must eat constantly to balance the metabolism.


People always wonder why the modern mammals have a higher temperature than the other animals. And this is probably the answer, because whenever a rise in body temperature 1 degree C, the growth and spread of bacteria, fungi will decline 6%. So we need to have a higher body temperature to prevent the growth of fungi. But the question is how high?

Scientists have developed a mathematical model analysis of the benefits of raising body temperature to protect us from the mushrooms with the cost to buy and use food to keep body temperature within between 30 and 40 degrees C. The results showed that the optimum temperature to maximize both the benefits and cost less depreciation is 36.7 degrees C, nearly equal to the temperature of our bodies. This shows that we all exist are all reasons, including other animals, too.
