And are you certain that increasing cancer rates are (generally speaking) unaffected by (much) longer lifetimes and (much) better diagnosing/imaging means?
I mean, when on average people died at forty or fifty, with all the exceptions for the early age cases, and there were no real means to either diagnose cancer or even making autopsies, documented cases must have been sensibly less.
