Consider your remarkable family. No, not clever Auntie Jean or your brilliant second cousin or even your 90-year-old mum — go back a bit further than that. Ten thousand generations further...The fact is, each of your ancestors over the course of that time — a span of 250,000 years — did something quite extraordinary: they lived long enough to procreate. They must have done — otherwise you wouldn't be here.That makes them much luckier and stronger than most. For the vast majority of human history, as many as half of all people died before they reached their teens, normally during birth, from starvation, dehydration or from an infection.
