Lol the average American lifespan in 1923 was 58 and in my county in 2022 it was 64 and dropping
"doubled"
Humans can be found outside America too.

Ok? It's still not true, this is just classic ignorant neoliberal propaganda. Even your own source doesn't support this, unless you go well into the 1800s.
For Africa and Asia it did.
Again this is very simply not true. You are imagineering, not objectively looking at data. Which countries specifically do you see doubling life span? I'm not seeing it.
Yeah, sorry. It would be more correct to say 110 years ago for Asia.
Wait until you find out why the lifespan was so low in Africa during that time
Yeah, I know. Not only Africa, europeans should kept themselves at their land.
