Yes, childhood mortality heavily skewed past life expectancies.
However, that being said I'm in my 30s and I've already had several conditions that would've killed me if medical science hadn't developed treatments. I'm sure most of us have.
Stuff like infections, broken bones, and requiring surgery on my wisdom teeth.
Infections and fevers are mostly not life threatening. I've had some surgeries but none that were absolutely necessary.
But in terms of teeth pulling, that has been around for a while, although in primitive societies all their teeth tend to grow in right due to a more natural diet.
So then genius, If most of us have not been saved from things that would've otherwise killed us in the past, then explain how the average life expectancy is drastically higher now.

You've never had an infection? Or a fever? Or any kind of surgery whatsoever?
