Genesis 4

Genealogy. Why don't we live as long as the first men and women? Environmental factors? Spiritual? Does anyone know or have any theories or is it one of those mysteries to be solved in the hereafter?

Of note: Enoch did not die, but, "was no more because God took him away." Was Enoch so righteous that his presence amongst men was neither appropriate nor required for a greater purpose? It is curious. The only other place Enoch is mentioned (as more that just one man in the line from Adam to Jesus) is in Jude where his words are quoted regarding the judgement of mankind (Jude 1:14). Hmmm...
