Jolly good point.
I was wondering the other day - has cancer always been with us, in some form or other, or is it a 'modern plague' caused by all the unnatural stuff we are exposed to all our lives?
For example, skin cancer. The Sun has been shining for millennia, yet sun block is a quite recent invention.
