Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The average normal body temperature is generally accepted as 98.6°F (37°C). Some studies have shown that the “normal” body temperature can have a wide range, from 97°F (36.1°C) to 99°F (37.2°C).

Detailed explanation-2: -Normal human body temperature is 37 degrees Celsius or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

Detailed explanation-3: -In total, the researchers studied 677, 423 temperature measurements, collected over the course of 157 years and covering 197 birth years. They found that men born in the early 19th century display temperatures 0.59 degrees Celsius higher than men today, representing a decrease of 0.03 degrees Celsius per birth decade.

Detailed explanation-4: -The average body temperature is 98.6 F (37 C). But normal body temperature can range between 97 F (36.1 C) and 99 F (37.2 C) or more.
