Makes complete sense that all we=have done is simply reduce the variability in individual lifespans but not=increased human lifespans. I would be curious to know the=age distribution of the population in ancient Greece though it would =A0be hard to figure out and no doubt be affected by period episodes of cat=strophic war. My best guess still is that amo=g each age cohort from age 5, there was still huge mortality in each decad= of life so by age 35 over 50% would have died. For men, the largest cause=of death would be accidents(40%), and for women it would be childbir=h (25% mortality) The reason this matters is =hat as a society you would consider dying at 40 to be totally normal= and would develop a reverence for the 1% who made it to 70 and above. =A0 On=Jan 13, 2017 10:59 AM, "jeftrey E." <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]» wrote: very k=nd of you . please read http://www.livescience.com/10569-human-lifespans-=onstant-2-000- years.html On Fri, Jan 13, 2017 at 8:39 AM, Ravi Mantha Dear Jef=rey, Attached are pdfs of both my =ealth books.
