Me too. We have plenty of bones of people who lived into old age with signs of disability or having been crippled.
But the overall stats not only do I not know, but since we only have a relatively minor number of data points it’s hard to really say any of us will ever know.
What we have does tend to point to being better than a medieval city iirc, and I think the general consensus amongst anthropologists is that the transition to agriculture saw a decrease in life expectancy.
I wonder how the stats were in the stone age.
