I am just wondering how our ancestors made it living in cold, damp caves and how poor people in 3rd world countries live in houses made with sticks and mud with dirt floors. Log cabins. Drinking from streams and rivers. Homeless living in cardboard.
I am surprised that any of us are alive!
Our ancestors had an average lifespan of less than 40 years. Many of these 3rd world countries have a population that suffers and die from diseases that are easily prevented with proper sanitation.
I think we go overboard on the "dirt is deadly must sanitize everything" bandwagon, but basic sanitary improvements can save many many many many lives.
