    Another lesson in what happens if you apply averages for inappropriate purposes. Also looking at life expectancy at birth (which will be polluted by extremely high infant and child death rates) compared to say life expectancy at age 25, which will reveal that it was common to live into your fifties.

    Still much lower than today, but people were not dropping dead at 30.
