«The treatment he received ten years on [from implementing the Health Performance Framework] means that the health systems are still not being responsive and, forget the cultural component for a moment, they're still not being responsive in terms of dignity and in terms of
the treatment of a fellow human being,» said Wyatt.
They didn't have any knowledge
of nutrition, they weren't able to eat nutritious, calorie dense food whenever they wanted due to the absence
of agriculture, and their immune systems were likely weaker than ours (living together in large numbers placed enormous selective pressure on our early agricultural ancestors to develop strong immune systems, keep in mind that early
human civilizations did not have indoor plumbing... so they were sometimes exposed to fecal matter both from
fellow humans and from livestock and they didn't have the kinds
of disinfectants and anti-biotics we have today,) so for them to have serious health complications makes perfect sense, nature can be very harsh and doesn't care how long its been since your last meal or what your calorie and micro nutrient needs are... a lot
of people died at very young ages back then simply because they got sick and didn't have proper medical
treatment or due to malnutrition or starvation.
