  4. The obvious from the second excellent article. Harnessing the naturally available forms of energy to make the home life more comfortable was a huge factor in extending longevity, as were advances in medical treatment. And yet the mentally pre Neanderthal left wants us to return to living in caves and freezing in the darkness as some sacrifice to the dead god Gaia.

  5. Sitting all day and night in a cave when there is a solar eclypes sacrifice a few POW’s or others to you sun god and do like the Aztecs did to restore the sun

  6. Actually, cavemen would not have known not living past thirty was a problem.

    The caption probably should read: our water is clean, our air is pure, we all get plenty of exercise, everything we eat is natural, and that’s why we have improved our longevity by ten years.

  7. Years ago my work took me to several local cemeteries where we erected monuments to the recently deceased. I noticed on many of the very oldest monuments a significant number of young children who died at “three years and six months” etc. This is probably the greatest improvement in life expectancy. If you reach adulthood, you’re probably going to live a long time. Even if you smoke and drink and don’t come home at all…

  8. of course, impregnating one’s 12 year old cousin/sister/daughter and then have her die in child birth puts a bit of a downward number on expectancy tables too.

  9. There were probably multiple times throughout history (or prehistory) when our ancestors were nearly extinguished by the environment that was nothing but cruel. The eco-nut idiots seem to be harnessing their own cruelty although it doesn’t apply to their elites like Gore & Suzuki.

    1. Most of human history is a recording of how humans tame nature. It is still on-going today. For example, if you go all the way from the North Sea on the Rhine to the Main to the Main-Danube Canal to the Danube, exiting to the Black Sea, you will pass 83 locks. The locks both generate electricity and control flooding. I am sure the waterway is much friendlier now than in its raw state. Domestication of animals and farming are the first examples of how humans make nature serve them, and the Earth a little more hospitable. And yet there are eco-nut idiots who are against both. I wonder what they think they are going to eat.

      1. “And yet there are eco-nut idiots who are against both. I wonder what they think they are going to eat.”

        They’re not. I’m sure they’re going to participate willingly in the initial “die-off”, setting the example for the rest of us in helping to depopulate the planet!

      2. Throughout Southeast Asia … vast tracts of land are completely flooded causing devastation … year after year. The Thai soccer team was trapped in a cave … because of the Moonsoon season.

        The Mississippi River spilled over its banks and flooded vast tracts of land when the French used the river as a highway to the lucrative beaver trapping North. Then America made the Louisiana purchase and TAMED the river. Built levees, and farmed the fertile alluvial soils. The floodplain was tamed (with 100 year events excepted) by intelligent, proactive humans. Meanwhile … in India … and Southeast Asia … NATURE still beats the crap out of the hapless residents.

  13. The “not living past 30 myth” is just that. A myth. Plenty of people lived to be 100 or more if they lived in the countryside
    and did contract a disease as people who lived in ports and cities did.
    The idea of recent longevity is a false trope built upon figuring the mortality rate differently combined with less infant mortality.(less if you don’t factor in the abortions)
    If you factor in the abortions, then the average person lives to be less than 30.
