That’s why we owe it to the men and women responsible to take a look at the path that got us here. Today, life science development has advanced so far that it’s hard to fathom not having treatment for such a common ailment not so long ago. In the late 19th to early 20th century, people were still dying from illnesses like pneumonia in large numbers. The technology we use to treat sickness and disease today is nowhere near what we had over 100 years ago. The same is true for the history of life science.

People were still traveling by horse and buggy in 1900, and now people fly in planes and drive cars that are 100% electric. Since the turn of the 20th century, society has progressed rapidly. Today’s Medical Advancements Progressed Rapidly to This Pointĭid you ever think you’d be reading this on a phone the size of a paperweight? Join us as we take you all the way back to the turn of the century and travel up to the modern-day on the Journey of Life Sciences. For that reason, we thought we would shed some light on where our modern medical therapies and treatments came from. The humanity of centuries, and even decades ago, dealt with much shorter lifespans and many more challenges in health and medicine. Medical advancements have evolved to allow humans to reach that age, but it wasn’t always that way. Currently, the average life expectancy in the United States is 77.3 years.
