War, conflict, accidents and criminal violence were relatively common, further reducing expected male life expectancy to the mid-forties. Female family members were often called upon to assume many roles traditionally reserved for men. Hence, women enjoyed a legal status not allowed in ancient times that was redacted by the Catholic church in the late middle ages.

Life span is the average duration of life in persons who have avoided all disease and accidents. . . The span of life is fixed biologically and has been so for millennia. For most persons, the clock runs down by the 85th year, and it seems to make little difference whether one inhabits a luxurious urban apartment or a primitive hut. . . actuaries have shown that a maximum life span of 115 years is an extreme rarity, occurring only once in 2.1 billion lives.”<br />Adams & Victor, Principles of Neurology, 1993.<br />Clovis Cithoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18208194219083373456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402877484398376318.post-73553270886388699182015-05-10T07:26:37.123-07:002015-05-10T07:26:37.123-07:00Is (2) +2 to the age cap (good) or 2 years closer ...Is (2) +2 to the age cap (good) or 2 years closer to reaching that cap (bad)?
