Reply to comment by truthlieswork in Has PTSD due to trauma and/or violence affected humans for centuries or is this a more recent phenomenon? Have there always been long-term effects when an individual experiences trauma and/or violence? by shooflydont

>And as for long-term effects, humans used to live to an average age of 35. By 1900 this was up to 46. Now it’s 70-75.

I totally think most of what you wrote is true, but those numbers are mostly due to high infant mortality
