I rest my case ... (Far more easier to live in 40*C than -40*C when your normal body temperatures (37*C) are closer to the former than the latter.)

But its a lot easier to be stuck in 40C (110+F) temperaturure then in then in -40 C especially with global warming so my point still stands.  Its pretty easy to build a shelter to avoid exteme cold again watch the movie Alive (1993) if you don't want to belive me, but its pretty much impossible to build a shelter to protect you from extreme heat 40C (110+F).   The only reason people can survive today in 40C (110+ F) heat is because of air conditioning people survived in extreme cold a long time before the invention of air contiontioning (eskimos, neanderthal man).

You should come to Australia and try to endure almost 50'C/122'F during a typical summer.
You literally cannot survive that during the day over long periods... So what they did was build houses underground. (Because Air-conditioning wasn't a thing a hundred years ago.)
45'C is a pretty typical temperature just North of me.

Aboriginals managed to endure it by staying in caves and stone structures and being near water, plus their body's seem to handle the extremes better due to minor physiological evolutionary changes like increased production of Thyroxine.

Growing up, I didn't have an air conditioner, they weren't common back then, 40'C and higher days were fine, we lived under the sprinkler and ate ice blocks.
The worst kinds of heat wasn't the direct heat from the sun, it was the air being heated up in Australia's "Heat Engine" turning the air dry, hot and sticky... But that wasn't even the worst part.
The worst part was when it stuck around for over a week with zero relief.

Schools and such would also be closed down due to the heat. - That doesn't seem to happen as much anymore, with the exception of excessively hot days, thanks to Air conditioners...

Even things like roads would have the tar melt, turning the roads almost shiny and smooth.

The point is, regardless of temperature extremes, human beings adapt and survive just fine, even without technology.
You aren't wrong though, it is easier to warm up when it's cold than it is to cool down when it's hot. I've experience it first hand! haha
