Um actually, I was watching a show on something along these lines 
afew weeks ago, unfortunatley didn't pay enough attention, but the 
gist as I recall had to do with the fact that just every day servival 
was hard enough, so the body did not process as many allergies, now 
because the modern era  has made it easier to stay healthy, so to 
speak, the body has more time to recognize " foriegn bodies" and 
reject them.
