People that reached 20+ years were very likely to live up to 60/70 years or more exactly like modern humans. There were plenty of old people low age expectancy wasn't due to illnesses when people got old. The issue is that only a fraction of people reached 20, and since the average is computed over all people this includes the incredibly many infant deaths. | |

| Oct 22, 2016 at 2:19 | comment | added | wyvern | The "average life expectancy at birth was in the 30s" thing was because of drastically higher infant mortality, not faster aging. People who survived to be 20 would be expected to live much longer than 19 more years. | |
