Sweating is a response to the body to enhance heat loss to the environment to maintain body temperature ar an optimum range. The Journal of Investigative Dermatology (1948) investigated the rates of perspiration based on sex and race (exact definition was lacking except for "black snd white). They found that men in general sweat more than women and there were minor differences ascribed to race.As sweating is dependant on enhancing heat loss, people whose ancestors came from warmer climates might sweat more or at least more efficiently. If Europeans evolved during the Ice Ages they may have reduced sweat production to conserve heat during those cold years.

Moving from a climate which your ancestors have adapted to to a radically different one may make your perspiration response inappropriate. A common experience of British soldiers stationed in India was that sweating rates were highest on arrival but reduced to local norms after acclimatization. Further studies indicated that soldiers could reproduce these impacts by being exposed to artificial climates (hot steamy room)
