i wonder if someone calculated life expectancy without including infant mortality.

    Eh, not really but kinda. The available recorded data for that information is scarce and not a complete picture. Some studies were done but they are centered on things like "expectancy of tenants/landowners" for example, not the overall picture. It's a complicated topic and I don't fully understand it myself.

    Though, what I do know, is that through other methods of anthropological and archeological research methods, like examining bones, we are able to prove that people generally lived into their 50s-60s.
