I'm my period, ave life expectancy was 40 but if you made it to 40, you were pretty likely to go on to 70.

I recall reading that early hominid life spans were 20 years, doubling about the agricultural revolution. Hmmm

What I recall is that poor nutrition and dental problems were common causes of death in pre-agricultural humans.

Well, I'll say that with low confidence unless I can find the references. Bother again.
