So you would be basing your entire theory on a 60 year snapshot of docks history. I'm calling BS on this one. and what did Londoners heat their houses with then?

BritManToo Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Just now, thaibeachlovers said: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy 34 years for males in the 18th century.[29] They include child mortality in life expectancy statistics. Strangely enough, if they included aborted fetus today, the life expectancy of modern man would be exactly the same. Women currently abort their babies (40%), whereas historically the babies died of illness. This has nothing to do with lifespans, which is and always has been around 70 years. I'm not really interested in trying to explain something like this to you, so won't reply again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
