Why Did Humans Start Living Past 30? | HISTORY FOR SLEEP

In Why Did Humans Start Living Past 30? | History for Sleep, we examine a common misunderstanding about early human lifespan. Humans did not suddenly die at thirty, but many never survived childhood, disease, injury, or unstable environments. The low average lifespan of the past often reflects risk, not biological limits. This episode explores how small, gradual shifts shaped human survival: more stable food sources, reduced seasonal starvation, early forms of care, and growing social cooperation. Archaeological evidence from prehistoric burial sites, skeletal remains, and early settlements suggests that once individuals reached early adulthood, they could often live much longer—if life allowed it. Rather than focusing on the human body changing, this video traces how the surrounding conditions slowly became less fragile. From hunter-gatherer societies to early agricultural communities, survival became more likely not because humans were stronger, but because everyday life became slightly safer. This calm, reflective narration is designed to help you relax, think deeply, and gently fall asleep while exploring one of the most important transitions in human history.
