‘Anprim’ is short for anarcho-primitivism, people who think advanced technology was a mistake and we should return to a simpler way of life. This ranges from ‘weird agrarian tradlife fantasy’ to ‘hunter-gathering was the peak of human society’, but in either case, many of the technologies which enable those of us not born with perfect genes to survive past the age of 20 - including many anprims - would be simply unavailable.
Child mortality was high, but so was the mortality of those of us with chronic health issues from birth, and the mortality of those whose potential skillsets were not suited to the society’s limited capacity to provide for non-providers.

I believe that the low average lifespan of early civilizations wasn’t because of 30 being the natural cut off range for human life.
It was because of child mortality. So many of them died that it affected the average.

Amazing how anprims are dumb enough to reject modern medicine.
While that is true, the reason child mortality is so much lower is better knowledge combined with modern technology.
The anprims would shun at least the latter part and experience a drastic increase as a result.
It did, but even if you made it out of childhood, you still didn’t live very long.
