How could human-like aliens survive on Pluto?

+0

I apologize if I continuously ask different questions about different concepts for stories.

It's just that I can never make up my mind on what to write, and sometimes, my ideas change.

But anyway, I'm a little off topic, so I should get to my question.

Here's some context.

Basically, I've been inspired lately by stories in the sword and planet genre, such as A Princess of Mars and Pirates of Venus.

So I decided to make my own story similar to them, set on the planet Pluto.

I know that Pluto is uninhabitable in real life, but in this world it has a breathable atmosphere, and supports life, yet is still extremely cold, having an average tempature of -60 degrees Celsius.

It's basically like Hoth from Star Wars.

The dominant species on the planet is similar to humans in both appearence and biology, which means that they don't have fur or blubber of any kind to provide insulation.

My question is, how could a human like species survive in such an inhospitable environment?
