The Evolution of Aging and the Power of Choice
Today, we are exploring a transformation that has been millennia in the making: the profound evolution of human aging. We often hear that life expectancy in ancient Rome was only about 21 years, leading many to believe that people simply "expired" in their 30s. However, the reality is that if an ancient citizen survived the "brutal gauntlet" of childhood, they had a strong chance of living into their 70s or 80s.

Mrs Roach showed me a social medium post from a female tv presenter, who is celebrating a big milestone with a photo of themselves from their first episode and the traditional z-list cloud of vaguely related hashtags. Mrs Roach asked "How can she still look the same after 20 years?" to which I replied "she has aged well but she can't spell #aniversary"
