Do you have any sources on that? It l that's an interesting way to look at it. I would have expected life expectancy to be way lower than you suggest by your calculations. (IE: 9/13 babies died*, with 60 as full life, meaning 18 yrs expectancy).
* All I know is that humans used to produce a lot of babies because a lot of them would die, but my googling sucks
- andsoitis 4y agoLots to read at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy such as: Until the middle of the 20th century, infant mortality was approximately 40–60% of the total mortality. Excluding child mortality, the average life expectancy during the 12th–19th centuries was approximately 55 years. If a medieval person survived childhood, they had about a 50% chance of living 50–55 years, instead of only 25–40 years.
