Humans are now living so much longer than a century ago that 72 should now be considered ‘the new 30′, a study has found. The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock, Germany, says life expectancy is rising faster than it has for 200 millennia, when our ancestors the Hominids walked the planet.
Scientists say that modern healthcare and medicines mean we are healthier in our seventies now than when our ancestors were starting their thirties.
So does that make me 10?
(My wife wouldn’t argue!)
All men are 10 years old –at least three times per week. You guys can figure it out.
