Prehistoric demography, palaeodemography or archaeological demography is the study of human and hominid demography in prehistory. [ 1 ] More specifically, palaeodemography looks at the changes in pre-modern populations in order to determine something about the influences on the lifespan and health of earlier peoples.
Map of early human migrations based on the Out of Africa theory; figures are in thousands of years ago (kya). [1]The peopling of the Americas began when Paleolithic hunter-gatherers (Paleo-Indians) entered North America from the North Asian Mammoth steppe via the Beringia land bridge, which had formed between northeastern Siberia and western Alaska due to the lowering of sea level during the ...
c. 800 BC: Adena people erect earthworks and mounds in present-day Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. [1] [2] 500–1 BC: Basketmaker phase of early Ancestral Pueblo culture begins in the American Southwest. 500 BC–AD 1000: Plains Woodland period on the Great Plains. [3]
The life expectancy in some states has fallen in recent years; for example, Maine's life expectancy in 2010 was 79.1 years, and in 2018 it was 78.7 years. The Washington Post noted in November 2018 that overall life expectancy in the United States was declining although in 2018 life expectancy had a slight increase of 0.1 and bringing it to ...
Archaeologists are piecing together evidence that the earliest human settlements in North America were thousands of years before the appearance of the current Paleo-Indian time frame (before the late glacial maximum 20,000-plus years ago). [51] Evidence indicates that people were living as far east as Beringia before 30,000 BCE (32,000 BP).

The life expectancy in prehistoric times was low, 25–40 years, [5] with men living longer than women; archaeological evidence of women and babies found together suggests that many women would have died in childbirth, perhaps accounting for the lower life expectancy in women than men. Another possible explanation for the shorter life spans of ...
