Comparing Middle Ages to Modern Society
Throughout the ancient and medieval worlds, people died much
younger on average than they do in Australia today (but they did live longer
than the average in some countries in modern Africa). The average age at death
today in the Australia is roughly 82, while in the Middle Ages it was about 35.
The average in the middle ages is only so low because many babies died after
birth, and many dying before the age of one.
