The life expectancy in prehistoric times was very low, 25–40 years, with men living longer than women; archaeological evidence of women and babies found together suggests that many women would have died in childbirth, perhaps accounting for the lower life expectancy in women than men. Today, the world’s life expectancy exceeds 70 years with women outliving men in most societies. What exactly was the cause of this dramatic shift in life expectancy? What can we do to replicate success of geographical regions in highlighted green so that countries highlighted in red could enjoy the same long life expectancy? What can we do to make green regions even “greener”?

In this lecture, our Supercourse group would like to argue that PREVENTION is the key to global life expectancy increase and further improvement in preventive practice could hold the key to further improvements.
