yea...I realize it has gone up a lot, but I don't think it was that low. I stopped reading when I saw that, I assume the list is bogus.

this surprised me as well

Its wrong, but not too far off.

Average lifetime in 1900 was 47.

It was about 35 years from 1700 to 1850, or something like that.

Yeah, predicting a lifespan of 50 years when it was already 47 in 1900. Suspicious.

Anyway, I can predict what will be around in 2100. Phony lists from the year 2000.
