Hey, Vsauce, Michael here. At the age of

00:05

18, Carl Sean looked like a teenager,

00:09

but it doesn't take long in an old high

00:11

school yearbook to find teenagers who

00:15

look surprisingly old. These people are

00:19

all in their 20s, but so are these

00:22

people. This is Elizabeth Taylor when

00:25

she was just 17. And here are some high

00:28

school students from the 70s.

00:31

Did people used to look older? Brandon

00:34

McCarthy asked on Twitter and evidence

00:36

poured in. People shared photos of their

00:40

parents in their early 20s, their dad at

00:44

21, their mom at 18 or 19, their dad at

00:48

45. One user shared their husband at 27,

00:53

and what his father looked like at 23.

00:57

And there's pretty much an entire

00:58

subculture around how old footballers

01:01

looked decades ago. 24, 31, 33, 29,

01:10

It's not uncommon to think that there's

01:13

something more grown up about the way

01:15

people used to be. To look back and

01:18

think that people seemed older at a

01:21

younger age than they do now. Let's call

01:24

it retrospective aging. It doesn't

01:27

happen to everyone. People do not and

01:30

never have aged similarly. And there's

01:33

even the opposite observation that kids

01:35

these days grow up too fast. But it's a

01:38

popular question and subject of numerous

01:41

memes.

01:43

So,

01:44

is it real? Or is it an illusion fueled

01:48

by cherrypicked examples that feeds rosy

01:51

nostalgia for a time when people were

01:54

tough and didn't have it as easy as you

01:56

kids have it now? Well, as it turns out,

02:01

both humans today really are aging more

02:05

slowly than their historic counterparts.

02:08

Changes in lifestyle, nutrition, smoking

02:11

habits, health care, early life

02:13

conditions, and skin care, particularly

02:15

the use of sunscreen are a huge part of

02:18

it. By comparing measures of metabolic,

02:21

cardiovascular, inflammatory, kidney,

02:23

liver, and lung function across time,

02:26

researchers at Yale and USC have found

02:28

that we are in fact staying younger for

02:32

longer than we used to. So, does that

02:35

mean that 60 is the new 50?

02:38

Almost. Their results suggest that

02:41

between the early 90s and the late

02:44

2000s, 60 became the new 56, 40 became

02:50

the new 37 12 and 20 became the new 19.

02:54

Oh, also during the last century,

02:57

dentistry and orthodontics have played a

03:00

huge cosmetic role in the kinds of faces

03:02

we see in parts of the world. But

03:06

interestingly, when faces in magazines

03:09

are measured from the 1930s to today,

03:13

the only significant change has been

03:15

that across all ethnicities, the media

03:18

is now exposing us to larger lips. Also,

03:22

retroactive aging can occur over short

03:24

time spans. When I was a freshman, the

03:27

seniors in my high school seemed so old

03:30

to me. But by the time I was a senior

03:33

myself, I looked in the mirror and at my

03:35

peers and I was like, we're them now,

03:38

but we don't seem as old as they did.

03:41

What's going on isn't just about bodies.

03:44

First of all, the seniors I looked at

03:47

when I was a freshman truly were older

03:49

than me at that time. They graduated and

03:52

went away. And later when I was a

03:55

senior, I saw myself as I was. But in my

03:59

mind's eye, I saw the earlier seniors as

04:02

they appeared to me when I was younger.

04:05

Retrospective aging seems to also be

04:08

about perspective.

04:10

Let's go back to this tweet. This is

04:13

George Wint playing Norm on the TV show

04:16

Cheers. Now, when Cheers premiered, went

04:20

was indeed 34, but I looked it up and

04:24

this image is actually from episode 24

04:26

of season 5 when Wint was 38. So, we're

04:30

not comparing apples to apples here.

04:32

However, this is an image of George Went

04:35

at 34. And Ashley Fairbanks made some

04:39

alterations and a good point.

04:42

However, here's the rub. These

04:45

alterations don't make W look more like

04:48

a 34 year old. They make him look more

04:51

like a 34y old today.

04:55

Similarly, giving the Golden Girls
