About This Answer
Normal human body temperature averages 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37°C), though recent studies show individual variations. According to the National Institutes of Health, this temperature represents the optimal point for metabolic processes and enzyme function. The Mayo Clinic documents how body temperature fluctuates throughout the day and varies by measurement location. Medical professionals use this baseline to detect fever and hypothermia. The 98.6°F standard has been the medical benchmark since German physician Carl Wunderlich established it in the 1860s.
