Did Palaeolithic humans live longer than early Neolithic farmers?
Upvote:2
You can read the original paper here: Older age becomes common late in human evolution.
Note the author's first conclusion is that their results indicate:
a trend of increased survivorship of older adults through human evolution.
Now, the increase in longevity is by far the greatest in the early modern humans of the Upper Palaeolithic. At this point in human development, there are a more older adults than younger adults in the death distribution for the first time. Obviously, this is significant in terms of human development.
But the study didn't examine Neolithic samples.
