And people also only lived to be 40 (if they were lucky) for hundreds of thousands of years. Just because ancient people did something doesn't somehow make it better for that reason alone.
- therealdrag0 6y ago<40 is “life expectancy AT BIRTH”, that is not the adult life expectancy which is much higher.
- nkrisc 6y agoExact value is irrelevant considering I'm talking about a span of hundreds of thousands of years across every human population alive during that time. The point is, and I feel confident saying it, that current life expectancy (at any stage) is higher now than at nearly any time in the distant past.
