The Japanese Wikipedia states that the average human body temperature is 36.0 °C (here,"ヒト").
The statement references the data from the Japanese government.
Actually all of my Japanese friends think the same.
A body temperature of 37.5 °C is considered a serious illness in Japan, justifying absence from work.
Most other countries' sources cite 37.0 °C as an average.
Is there a biological explanation for this apparent discrepancy?
