Live 20,000 years ago at a ripe old age of 37 and after hunting a mammoth all day then getting home with a large amount of meat, stubbed a toe scratching it then dying from the scratch.
Average life expectancy included early childhood deaths. So if you made it to teenager, you would probably live to an old age close to what you might live to today.
Ehh not exactly. Yes infant mortality would skew the data a bit, but modern medicine, along with modern agriculture has definitely increased the average life expectancy by a sizable portion.
Nowadays, people don't have to worry about food stockpiles and periods of shortages. Malnutrition was definitely a big issue back then. Especially with things like baby food being present, which was a big factor in reducing baby death rates
Modern medicine such as vaccines, surgeries, supplements, and even basic hygiene has made wonders for the average health of a person. Things that would normally kill a person, like bacteria infecting a wound, nowadays is mostly recoverable and minor.
they actually could order a pizza over the phone back then, although before the invention and popularisation of cars it was deemed easier to hunt for food.
I still have to fight wild animals (my dogs) over my pizza tho
