Human life expectancy is a statistical measure of the estimate of the average remaining years of life at a given age. ... Ancient Rome: 20–33 [29] [30] [31] ...
Life expectancy at birth in the Roman Empire is estimated at about 22–33 years. [8] [notes 1] For the two-thirds to three-quarters of the population surviving the first year of life, [9] life expectancy at age 1 is estimated at around 34–41 remaining years (i.e. expected to live to age 35–42), while for the 55–65% surviving to age 5, life expectancy was around 40–45.

Based on a dataset of average population density of hunter-gatherer groups collected by Lewis R. Binford, which indicate a mean density of 0.1223 humans per km 2 and a median density of 0.0444 humans per km 2, the combined human population of Africa and Eurasia at the time of the LGM would have been between 2,998,820 and 8,260,262 people.
The life expectancy in prehistoric times was low, 25–40 years, [5] with men living longer than women; archaeological evidence of women and babies found together suggests that many women would have died in childbirth, perhaps accounting for the lower life expectancy in women than men. Another possible explanation for the shorter life spans of ...
In one view, man was originally to have everlasting life, but as sin was introduced into the world by Adam, [18] its influence became greater with each generation and God progressively shortened man's life. [19] In a second view, before Noah's flood, a "firmament" over the earth (Genesis 1:6–8) contributed to people's advanced ages. [20]
Medieval demography is the study of human demography in Europe and the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages. It estimates and seeks to explain the number of people who were alive during the Medieval period, population trends, life expectancy, family structure, and related issues.
An estimate on the "total number of people who have ever lived" as of 1995 was calculated by Haub (1995) at "about 105 billion births since the dawn of the human race" with a cut-off date at 50,000 BC (beginning of the Upper Paleolithic), and inclusion of a high infant mortality rate throughout pre-modern history.
