In the 1700's, some people were living for about 200 years or longer. Over time, people began living shorter and shorter. They say the average lifespan is longer now because they calculate the average from all of the early deaths people had. In some places, at times, kids died more. You can understand how an average works. In history, you find that many people died before the age of 15. You need to look at the older people and see how long they lived. If they took care of themselves enough, long ago, they lived longer than we do now for so many reasons like chem trails is hurting us now for example. http://Naturalnews.com
