Shut up
The average lifespan at the time was around 35 years. Over the last 200 years, U.S. life expectancy has more than doubled to almost 80 years (78.8 in 2015), with vast improvements in health and quality of life.Sep 25, 2020
when was it 35?
you do realize that doesn't mean people were dying in the age of 35 do you?
if you do, your education system failed you badly
due to rough living, lots of children died in past before age of 4. don't quote me on it, but roughly 2 outta 3 kids died before age of 4.
however, after that, people lived normal life span as today. but due to kids dying that early, "average" lifespan was dropping mathematically even with majority of population dying in the age of 70+
it's sad but some people legit think that in past 35-40 was peak of human's age lmao
