    Nature wants 5/7 of your kids to make it and for you to die at 50 or something…

    Lol that’s low-key overly optimistic

      50? The human body expires by 25 and there’s no teeth left, also they should already be dead because of child mortality

        Our lifespans are 60-70 years and have been even in those times.

        Child mortality just lowered the average to around 30. A lot of babies died, but if you managed to get to your teens, it wouldn’t be unreasonable by any standard to assume you’ll get to 60-70.

        Our “three score and ten”.

        “There’s no teeth left”?

        I mean unless they smoked a lot of crack or meth back then, idk where the teeth would’ve gone. Sure they had worse healthcare but probably also a healthier diet for their teeth.
