Consider a stack of 400 coins, each coin representing 250 years, entire pile represent a time period of 100 thousand years. The top 1 coin (250 years) is all that our modern life style is, rest 399 coins are of the ancient human who had an active healthy lifestyle. Genetically we hardly changed, but phenotypically (external factors) everything is changed! Hence the mismatch..The life span of ancient human was probably less than now but there were less or virtually no chronic diseases.
My point is that if we could cut down the exposure to more & more modern amenities (heavy refined food, over eating, sedentary lifestyle etc.) we can have less & less burden of chronic diseases. Learn from the past & look forward for the future..can make a world free of preventable diabetes (at least one of them).
