How many years have we lived before?
If you look at the statistics, the average life expectancy on the planet, we can see a very interesting trend: from one year to the human lifespan is increasing. This phenomenon is associated with increased levels of medicine, education and culture. So, primitive men already 30 years old was considered an old man, the ancient Greeks and the ancient Romans were able to retire at the age of 29, and the inhabitants of medieval cities were considered seniors around the age of 33. Such sad statistics continued until the 19th century, when in connection with the development of technology and complex science, the average duration of human life finally began to increase. It was at this turning point for mankind the moment the average life expectancy in the European countries could increase by almost 2 times: from 34 to 65.

Can a person to live to 150 years?
According to biologists and geneticists, increase the duration of human life up to 150 years not only not impossible, but highly likely. Professor of biology at McGill University Siegfried Hekimi believes that some of those born in the 21st century, will be able to live to 150 years of age especially not applying to this no effort. In their study, Hakimi ranked the achievements of the last century, which related to the issues of vaccination, food safety, hygiene, overall reduction of stress and heavy physical work, the achievements that have a huge impact on the number of lived person-years.

According to Professor Hakimi, the reasons for which previous generations of people were not able to live to a ripe old age is hardly associated with genetic characteristics. Thus, modern centenarians, which is already mentioned above, Jeanne calment, was unable to live up to 150 years of age due to the fact that the entire modern level of comfort could affect these people only partially.
the People of the 21st century can live up to 150 years
Life in the early twentieth century is much different from the lives of the XXI century and often characterized by severe and protracted wars, a large amount of stress and, in some cases, obvious malnutrition.
If so, then the modern generation have a good opportunity in order to live a little longer than the allotted time. And if scientists have the ability to save and youth, perhaps raised to live 150 years would be much more interesting. But that's another story.
