I wonder how you would explain that both men and women are living much longer. In 1900 the average ago of mortality was 42 years old in the United States. We have nearly doubled that. In the province (Canada) where I live the mortality rate is nearly 81 years old. That is a huge improvement.
We have done in spite of contaminated air, oceans that resemble sewage sump (there is a plastic dump the size of Texas somewhere in the Pacific and the Atlantic is little better), a population increase that is unbelievable in terms of %. I wish my stocks would show that kind of % increase, and the current biological crisis -- I'm not allowed to name it. (There have been several of these pandemics since 1900.)
So I'll ask again: How are such things to be explained.
It could possibly be all three, but I would choose *1 and 3*
