OT: We are very lucky
I had a thought this morning, as a lay there too idle to get up. So just
now I googled to get my facts straight. We represent the 300,000th generation of humans (OK, I do. My kids are 300,001st; their kids are the 300,002nd.) But until only about seven generations ago almost everyone died before they were fifty, and many died in their thirties. Go back further and few survived beyond their twenties. So aren't we incredibly lucky? We had a one in 43,000 chance of being humans who can expect a long lifespan. Bill |

Have a look at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longevity "For example, an 1871 census in the UK (the first of its kind, but personal data from other censuses dates back to 1841 and numerical data back to 1801) found the average male life expectancy as being 44, but if infant mortality is subtracted, males who lived to adulthood averaged 75 years. The present life expectancy in the UK is 77 years for males and 81 for females". So nothing has really changed. |

The perceived short life of adults was largely due to infant mortality having a dominant effect of average life expectancy. Thank you for debunking the myth. It's interesting that a life expectancy table was compiled from old Roman tombstones, and these showed much the same result. Lots of deaths under age 15, but people who survived to 15 mostly lived to around 70. Of course, the average was indeed 30, but that has been misinterpreted. |

So aren't we incredibly lucky? We had a one in 43,000 chance of being humans who can expect a long lifespan. some of us are even luckier and are on borrowed time... Nature has, in reality, bestowed no greater blessing on man than the shortness of life, Pliny remarks. The senses become dull, the limbs torpid, the sight, the hearing, the legs, the teeth, and the organs of digestion, all of them die before us I havent got any of that. And in those days medicine was much less effective than it is now, He can think of only one person, a musician who lived to 105, who had a pleasantly healthy old age. But we know of quite a few who do now. (Pliny himself reached barely half that; hes thought to have died from volcanic gases during the eruption of Mt Vesuvius, aged 56). So he is hardly an expert on life in old age. |

I know one who is still doing fine. FSVO "doing fine". People say, "He's marvellous for his age." -- Max Demian |
