Re: Why do humans live so damn long?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm pretty sure people were living into their 70s and 80s like 2000 years ago.

This.

It was easier to die young because of lack of sanitation or medical care, but if you avoided injury or disease then you'd have much the same lifespan as today.

DA

Yes THIS. People see a low "average lifespan" and think that people were normally dropping dead at 50. But the actual reason that number is so low is because so many babies and children died of diseases that we have vaccines and treatments for today.

Exactly. A lot of people did die young, because of injuries, illness or childbirth, but that doesn't mean that no one lived into their eighties or nineties, or even beyond. It just means that many, many people died young because life was dangerous and there were a lot of things that could and did kill most people before they got to that age.

And the industrial revolution was absolutely brutal on workers health. If we're wondering why so few working class people reached great age during the nineteenth and early twentieth century, when our expectations about lifespans seemed to crystallise, it is because capitalism was literally killing them for profit.
