Summary: 


        However, at this early period of time, the effects of sin
        (death) were not so advanced and the human specimen was not
        as imperfect as today.  This is why the people of this era
        lived for hundreds of years.

Well, yeah, and also because they counted in months, later mistranslated to
years.  But it seemed like longer because they were so perfect.
