Sure, but that changes the average too, not the maximum When I say maximum, I mean that presumably 10,000 years ago, there were people who didn't get sick, didn't get wounded, etc. They died of "old age" How long did they live? There were far fewer of them, but they existed, and were probably productive, passed on knowledge, and moved civilization forward. They could have been leaders, or raised leaders, etc.
