Right

It's the pretentious ancient Greek word for a shieldwall.

Faggots like to use it to try and look smart.
>>
>>72049773
Average life expectency was only 30 because of high infant and child mortality. If you reached adulthood, you stood a reasonable chance of living into your sixties, plus a sixty year old in the medieval period would look older than most do first worlders do today since life was harder.

>>72049887
This is why people should learn when and where it's appropriate to use mean average and when they should use median or mode.

Infant mortality is not accounted for in average life expectancy. Most would be expected to die around that age. Some would live longer, some less.

Yes it is, average life expectancy usually refers to average life expectancy at birth.
