Why did people used to look older?

from NO SUCH THING · host iHeartPodcasts and Kaleidoscope

It’s not just nostalgia or low-res photos—there may actually be biological and cultural reasons why people in the past looked so old. To get to the bottom of it, I spoke with Dr. Caroline Hudson, a facial plastic surgeon based in Chicago and co-author of Analysis and Assessment of Facial Aging.  To see the images we reference, check out our newsletter at www.nosuchthing.show.
