Humans can't even live in low gravity for extended periods of time.

Actually we don't know that one way or the other. We have an evolution's worth of experience living in 1G, half a century in 0G, and a few weeks in 1/6G. And that's it. We're not going to know anything more until we establish some long-term science outposts on other worlds.
