Or should i listen to my instincts?

biologically speaking, if people weren't subject to the illnesses, diseases, etc. we have today, didn't have the genetic/dna damage & mutation that we've accumulated since the beginning of time, lived healthier lifestyles without all the exposure to harmful environmental effects, synthetic chemicals/compounds, modified foods, etc. It is indeed possible to live long past the modern average lifespan.
Scientifically speaking, our dna could possibly be "altered/engineered" to achieve a similar result, is a controversial science, and a matter being explored by numerous labs and studies.
Being that it's feasible, and that species that are less "evolved" than we are that can already live much longer than we can; I'd say that it's not only possible, but likely

@wildbill83 I think you'll find that the lifespan of people in the paleolithic and bronze ages was less than it is today. Of course, that doesn't mean that there weren't people who lived to very old ages, but the average was quite low. Remember that we currently have more advanced medicine and hygiene than ever before.

Yep, pretty sure people's lifespan in "paleolithic" era was short... so short they didn't even exist back then...
Biblical accounts of lifespans shortened drastically after the flood, tower of Babel, etc. well before the bronze age; that's not in dispute
