Wow, 75 for men and 73 for women! That's crazy. I wonder why Wikipedia doesn't seem to indicate this on the otherwise comprehensive life expectancy page. I did

Wow, 75 for men and 73 for women! That's crazy. I wonder why Wikipedia doesn't seem to indicate this on the otherwise comprehensive life expectancy page. I did find this fascinating and sad bit on that page though: "Actual life expectancy in Botswana declined from 65 in 1990 to 49 in 2000 before increasing to 66 in 2011. In South Africa, life expectancy was 63 in 1990, 57 in 2000, and 58 in 2011. And in Zimbabwe, life expectancy was 60 in 1990, 43 in 2000, and 54 in 2011." Apparently this is mainly due to HIV. I thought the effect would maybe bring down life expectancy down by 3 or 5 years, not 17 or 16. That's insane.
