In prehistoric times the average lifetime was like 22 so 20 would be like 78 today.
In 1776 the average life expectancy was about 35 so 20 would be like 56 today.
In 1870 the average life expectancy was about 40 so 20 would be like 42 today.
In 1916 the average life expectancy was about 41 so 20 would be like 41 today.
So if you want to bitch about the progress of mankind throughout generations, why don't you get off your 75 year old fat ass and go kill a buffalo with a spear, cross the Delaware on a horse wearing a cowboy hat, put on a gas mask and choke to death.
