The life expectancy at birth was about 37, but this does not mean what most people think. The Infant Mortality Rate was very high, and about a third of all the children died before they were two. So the 37 was an average between a third of the people who died at ages 0 or 1, and the other two thirds of the people. This means that if you lived to the age of two, you could expect to live to an average age of 55.
