Maybe the science of aging will give a clear answer on whether diet, exercise, culture or genetics determine lifespan.

As for age, I stand by my argument: Evidence suggests that neither paleolithic people nor recent western hemisphere indigenous people were routinely living to 80, despite ideal diet and exercise and low stress. If you want to explain this away, there are stories you can tell, but none of them seems as plausible to me as the story that lifespan is cultural. Also, both western and eastern religions speak of people in past ages living hundreds of years or longer. Consider the possibility that they’re right. I think there are different “fields” that people can resonate with, and I’m aging more slowly because I’m not resonating with the dominant field of American culture.
