Yes people did live longer. It's a proven fact( don't feel like finding the place to quote it) but gradually over time the life span has decreased. Now it's around 70-80 years old. Just about a few hundred years ago it used to be 90-100. and before that 100-120 wasn't uncommon. I even saw that on the History channel one time. It was something about after reproducing so much the max amount of the life span of a reproduced fetus life span is decreased off by some DNA factor.
