There was such a profound misunderstanding of lifespans in the very beginning of this episode that I can not listen to this podcast anymore. The main reason for the higher average lifespan now is greatly lowered rates of children dying from childhood diseases and other now-preventable things. It's not as if people who made it past age 6 were routinely dying in middle age like they now die in their 70s or 80s. It's a myth that should have been discounted by this podcast, not reinforced.
