At what age did people use to die around thousands of years ago?

Answer 1

In about 3000-2400 BC when Stonehenge was being built, the average lifespan was roughly 30. Mortality was higher in women due to childbirth, and many children died at young ages too. However it is not that uncommon to find skeletons of people who lived into their forties, and occasionally even as old as their 60's. Diseases that can be told by the bones were arthritis, rickets and malnutrition. The teeth were worn though with LITTLE decay but tooth absesses were common--and could be fatal.

Answer 2

The answer to your question differs widely depending on what specific date, geographical location, and class.

During the American Revolution the average life expectancy for farmers may have been 45-50 yrs., while upper-middle class businessmen could expect to survive well into their sixties.

During the same period most of the population of Poland were serfs (feudal slaves, really) and their life expectancy was about 35 years. So life in America was very attractive to the poor people who really struggled in Europe.

Answer 3

The lifespan of humans was only 30-40 years. There are biblical references to some living 900 years, but the accuracy of this has never been proven or disproven.

You were lucky if you lived to be 60 and older.
but in the bible it said some

Answer 5

35 to 45, if you got to the ripe old age of 65 and up, you were indeed blessed, not to good to look at, but at least you were still breathing.
