Most of the skeletons found in graves at Aşıklıhöyük belong to women and children, Özbaşaran said. “It is interesting that there was a high number of deaths among children and women. Probably many deaths occurred during birth. Epidemic diseases were also prevalent. We determined that the average age of death was between 25 and 30 in Aşıklıhöyük, which is very young. A man who died between the ages of 45 and 50 had one of the longest lives.”
Well that’s just swell. Are any of these ever found in bottled water?
A lot of bottled water is just municipal tap water with a fancy logo, so probably.
not to mention additional chemical leeching from the plastic bottles.
Ever notice that plastic taste in bottled water? There’s a reason it tastes like plastic.
Oh well. Gonna have to die some way.
I guess we all just prefer living in older times where you’re lucky if you live to 40.
Most people lived longer into their life if they survived past childhood. Their quality of life wasn’t as potentially as good in that age, obviously.
Right and the lack of medical intervention meant that most people didn’t make it past 40.
You can’t argue the fact that average life expectancy has increased significantly thanks to technology and advancement in medical science.
Back then people would die from a simple tooth infection. That’s extraordinary rare now a days.
People often lived well into their old age if they survived past their childhood. For instance, the average life expectancy during the Victorian era was about 73-75. (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1258/jrsm.2008.08k037).
The average pre-industrial lifespan was around 40 but is skewed due to incredibly high child mortality rates. Wherein roughly a third didn’t survive their first year and almost half didn’t survive their second year (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1090513812001237#s0015).
You’re cherry picking. Go back farther in time. The farther back you look the higher the mortality rates.
The point is on average life expectancy has increased. It scales with technology.
The fact that you’re even arguing this is ridiculous.
Do you know WHY so many people died giving birth? Do you know why so many people died in childhood? Medical technology. It’s not a mystery dude. https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/excavations-reveal-daily-life-of-10000-years-ago-30504#
