Of course, Grandma was only 28 years old.
Titia Schuurman@MugsysRapSheet @Daojoan I have no doubt you have sources for average birthing ages in prehistoric societies, would you mind sharing them? TIA
@titia @Daojoan
The average lifespan of humans in prehistoric times was roughly 35. No medicine, no awareness of disease, bathing & cleanliness were as rare as clean drinking water.
As recently as 100 years ago, the average lifespan was just 65 (which is why "Social Security" & "Retirement" were set to 65.)
Just 250 years ago, "blood letting" was the "cure" for most diseases. That "Red & Blue" stripped barber poll we all know used to indicate the local barber was also a "physician".
@MugsysRapSheet @Daojoan It is well known, though, that the average lifespan was what it was because of relatively high infant mortality. If you survived infancy, chances were you lived well into middle age, is what I've gathered from discussions on the subject.
