Life expectancy is tied to the living conditions we inflict on each other, not 'evolution' or 'modern medicine' making us 'live longer'.
I used to breed world champion stock and did it by selecting the best 'spirit' and treating all life as a blessing, from which I was just blessed more and more.

Think about this in the context of evolution. Our genetic lines are being weakened by the continued reproduction of less than hardy stock.

'Survival of the fittest' is a phrase often attributed to Charles Darwin; but a contemporary of Darwin's, the philosopher Herbert Spencer, actually coined the phrase.
What the phrase refers to is nature's way of 'weeding out' less suited individuals of a particular species. The weakest, stupidest, less cautious members of a group did not survive and thus, did not continue the genetic traits of weakness, stupidity, or rash behavior.
Throughout mankind's history, the dumbest, rashest, or weakest of us perished relatively early. Due primarily to less advanced medicine, industry, and technology.
I walk away from encounters with people everyday and think...how in the heck did you survive childhood?.
Think about this in the context of evolution. Our genetic lines are being weakened by the continued reproduction of less than hardy stock. This is an incredibly difficult topic to discuss without the immediate thought of Nazism, racism, or ethnocentrism. It has nothing to do with any of those ideas. Simply think about us as animals, like a farmer or dog breeder would.
And, I'm aware of the hardships in the developing countries...I'm not talking about them...This is about cultures with technology.

I do not consider mankind’s ability to show compassion a weakness; it may be one of our greatest strengths. I believe that the one who created all things is very loving towards all life. Compassion would seem to be the greatest form of emulation.
Our diversity is a survival tool. The reason some of us are white or black or tan is an insurance policy. Our diversity insures that nothing, no virus or bacteria or anything else can destroy us all. (With the exception of ourselves of course)
Just my thoughts on it. Love and light,
