Brown adipose tissue is for generating heat, other adipose tissue is for energy storage in case of famine. Different purposes, one isn’t “supposed to be” the other.

Why do we know that?
It seems that one can turn into another.
The white fat cell looks obviously disturbed, damaged.
Wite fat is associated with ill health.
Bonobos (and a lot of game meat, really) have virtually no white fat tissue.

So how do we know for sure we are supposed to have any white fat in the first place?

On top of this brown fat increases metabolism, so it would be counterproductive in the latter scenario. Just because mankind is eating enough to slowly kill themselves now doesn't mean that was always the case.

I mean, what if white fat tissue is just diseased brown fat tissue?

They need to be turned on in order to do that, and they still carry soem fat. We surely couldn't survive ion the wild with our amount of brown fat.
