>Many stone age people definitely lived in constant stress 24/7

average life expectancy back then is 30 years old. I had pretty good teeth by that age.




I so much wish everyone who makes arguments like this could get the following into their heads:

When a population has a) a life expectancy of 30 years, and b) an infant mortality rate of 50%, the life expectancy of "people who live a year" is 60.
