1. Google: The median age of death for humans globally is around 72 years old.

I was curious, so google:

The median age of death for humans globally is around 72 years old. In the United States, the median age of death is slightly higher, with life expectancy at birth being 78.4 years in 2023, according to the CDC. However, this varies by gender, with women typically living longer than men

2. Yep, science does make a difference. 77 healthy Male here

3. This is very misleading

Infant and childhood mortality was high. If you made it past the age of 5 your life expectancy was over 50. Many lived into their 60’s and 70’s

4. And science had nothing to do with the decreasing child death rate in modern times?

Science matters.
