Xerophyte posted:The word cancer is derived from Hippocrates himself, who referred to malignant tumors as karkinos due to how "the veins stretched on all sides as the animal the crab has its feet, whence it derives its name". It's just that when the life expectancy is 30 then people generally die from something else first, and when the tumor isn't externally visible it's hard to diagnose. Thats not how life expectancy works. Edit: To clarify, the reason why people say the life expectancy was so low is because they are talking about the average life expectancy. When you had really really good odds to die as an infant or child, combined with having a poo poo ton of children, the amount of deaths in that age range drag the entire average life expectancy down to like 30 years. If you made it past childhood you could pretty often see 60-80 years of age. Telsa Cola fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Feb 11, 2017 |
