What if humans needed to hibernate every winter?

Imagine a world where winter brings not just snow and cold, but a deep, months-long slumber for humanity. What if, like bears and bats, we too had to hibernate? Picture cozy underground chambers, our bodies slowing to a near standstill as we conserve energy through the frigid months. How would society adapt? Would we work feverishly through spring and summer, stockpiling resources for our long sleep? And what about global economics, technology, and social structures? As we explore this fascinating "what if" scenario, we'll uncover surprising insights about human nature, our relationship with the seasons, and the potential hidden within our own biology. Get ready to dive into a world where hibernation isn't just for animals – it's a fundamental part of the human experience.
