My bigger picture view of the world and the evolution is human life expectancy was 30 years before the invention of agriculture. And Global life expectancy at birth was 30 years, about 200 years ago.

We had a few people that lived very wonderful lives, but the lot in life of the common person did not meaningfully change throughout human history until the last few generations. (17:47–17:51)
