No, not true - life span has always been long (ish), but life EXPECTANCY has been low due to infant mortality.

Depends what do you mean by long-ish. It's possible that life span in 10 000 B.C. was 50 and in 1500 A.C. was 70.*

*Aristocrats and other people that had high protein intake, security etc.
