Fossilized footprints in Saudi Arabia show human traffic on the cusp of a subsequent ice age.
Like carbon dating, scientists use isotopes and context clues to calculate the approximate age of fossils.
These human prints were surrounded by animals but not hunted animals, indicating humans were just thirsty.

Humans have been around, as a species, for 0.3 million years (approximately). The most recent 10,000 years are not a statistically representative sample of humans.

Thirsty - feeling thirst
Thirst - a sensation of dryness in the mouth and throat associated with a desire for liquids, also : the bodily condition (as of dehydration) that induces this sensation

Jokes aside, why does everybody feel the need to gravitate towards the least popular definition here?
