FOR THE LAST 50,000 YEARS OR SO. gENETICISTS AND
ANTHROPOLOGISTS GENERALLY AGREE, MAXIMUM HUMAN LIFE
SPAN HASN'T CHANGED IN 50,000 YEARS, POSSIBLY MORE.
AVERAGE LIFE SPAN HAS CREPT UP IN THE INDUSTRIALIZED
SOCIETIES, DUE TO MORE CHILDREN SURVIVING PAST THE
FIRST YEAR AND BETTER SANITATION ALLOWING MORE PEOPLE
TO NOT BE EXPOSED TO PATHOGENS. IN THE SO CALLED
"PRIMATIVE" SOCIETIES, PATHOGENS WERE MINOR, IN LOW
CONCENTRATIONS AND THE ONES THE "PRIMATIVES" WERE
EXPOSED TO WERE THOSE THEIR ANCESTORS HAD ALREADY
SURVIVED, I.E. EVERYBODY HAD TOLERANCE FOR THEM.

GET IT STRAIGHT, "AVERAGE LIFE SPAN" IS NOT
"MAXIMUM".BESIDES, WHO SAYS EVERYBODY LIVING TO 120
YEARS IS A GOOD THING? IT USED TO BE ONLY THE FIT
SURVIVED, THAT'S WHY PEOPLE WITH GRAY HAIR AND/OR
BEARDS WERE REVERED, BECAUSE THEY WERE SMART/STRONG
ENOUGH TO GAIN THAT GRAY HAIR. TODAY, ANYBODY CAN LOOK
LIKE THAT BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING SPECIAL,,,
