Average life expectancy for hunter gatherers was low due to infant mortality. If people didn't die as an infant their life expectancy was actually fairly high (~70 years).
- gruez 4y agoWhile you're right in principle, the life expectancy after childhood is nowhere as high as you claim. From wikipedia >Based on the data from modern hunter-gatherer populations, it is estimated that at 15, life expectancy was an additional 39 years (total 54), with a 60% probability of reaching 15.
