As Hunter Gatherers we had more time to ourselves, with our families...

With a life expectancy between 21 and 37 years most of us probably wouldn't have more time to ourselves and with our families, even with a few less hours of work per day.

Researchers Gurven and Kaplan have estimated that around 57% of hunter-gatherers reach the age of 15. Of those that reach 15 years of age, 64% continue to live to or past the age of 45. This places the life expectancy between 21 and 37 years. They further estimate that 70% of deaths are due to diseases of some kind, 20% of deaths come from violence or accidents and 10% are due to degenerative diseases.
