Historical Data Indicates Most Lives Ended in Childhood

Any Human Ever assigns each player a life pulled from historical population statistics. Users report outcomes such as death at six months in Bronze Age Southeast Asia, death at age three in the Yangtze River Delta, and death from smallpox at age seven in 1889. Other draws produced an 82-year lifespan starting 14,700 years ago in the Ethiopian highlands, with multiple surviving children and grandchildren. One parent used the tool to let a child search specific years and places of interest. Some participants note the model omits region-specific events like forced labor in the Congo Free State.
