Reading an ancient language that says "there is no treatment" is the building blocks of a good horror film
-
"there is no treatment" gotta be the scariest shit 💀
-
"there is no treatment" sent shivers down my spine
-
The doctor recognising there is no treatments is actually really smart. Most doctors of the time would come up with crazy theories that had no evidence
-
Average age wasn't 35, unless you include child mortality If you live to ~10, you can make it to your 60's
-
Cancer in and of itself is just a cell mutation that causes unregulated cell division, so cancer would probably be about as old as multicellular organisms are.
-
Lost many important people in my life to cancer. I hope one day we find a cure.
-
It's frightening how many people think that when we discovered and described it is the same as when cancer first happened.
-
I think the larger contributor here is the fact that it’s really difficult to detect cancer without access to modern knowledge and technology
-
Thank you Natalie Portman for telling us about the history of cancer
-
We found cancer in dinosaur bones
-
Average life span was low because child mortality was high. People who made it out of childhood lived past their 30s. Average life span is very misunderstood.
-
I had cancer and beat it when I was 13 and it’s been 10 years since I have. So I’m thankful for modern cancer treatments
-
I’m a university student, and we learned about cancer treatments pre-anaesthesia - I’m pretty sure me and every other person in the room was like “yeah no, I’ll just die thanks”
-
"how old is cancer" i would say as old as life itself.
-
This video is the sanity I needed
-
We’ve also observed dinosaur bones with telltale signs of cancer- pretty amazing to think of it in that time scale.
-
The 35 age expectancy is brought down by extreme child mortality If you make it past 10, you'll probably live to your 60's
-
It’s like unlocking a new difficulty irl
-
Damn, pneumonia doing some work back in the 20's
