There you go, George, pining over the ideal of the past ;-).

Real humans left farming for the mills and mining as fast as they could. It
was no ideal. It was just better than farming.

The original statment on life expectancy was correct. In fact even in 1900
the average marriage lasted only 22 years before one or the other would die
of natural causes. The fact that a few people lived longer has nothing to
do with the fact of limited life expectancy. But cheer up: it was even
worse in Roman times.

I suggest you get ahold of a standard demography text and check out the
demographic transition.
