Greatest cause of death in humans?

[Pentagon]

What has caused the deaths of approximately half the human beings who have ever lived? Not including "old age "!

My paternal grandmother died of Old Age aged 96, (said so in the certificate) my maternal grandmother aged 77, died of cancer, and that;s what is probably said on her certificate though I didn't see it.

Sorry my last post doesn''t give an answer - its difficult to say, thinking of the deaths that have been talked about around me in the last couple of weeks, deaths have resulted from bypass surgery, cancer and murder.

mosquitos are the most deadly animals in the world.

The biggest killers of humans are currently

Heart disease, cancer and strokes

 

We don't know what half the people who have ever lived have been killed by.
