Name of person Image Date of death Details Sir Francis Bacon: 9 April 1626: The English philosopher and statesman died of pneumonia after stuffing a chicken carcass with snow to learn whether it could preserve meat.
Similarly, in pre-modern societies for which evidence is available, such as early modern England and early 18th-century China, infant mortality varies independently of adult mortality, to the extent that equal life expectancies at age twenty can be obtained in societies with infant mortality rates of 15% to 35% (life table models omit this ...
Leading cause of death (2016) (world) The following is a list of the causes of human deaths worldwide for different years arranged by their associated mortality rates. In 2002, there were about 57 million deaths.
During the early modern period, thorough and accurate global data on mortality rates is limited for a number of reasons including disparities in medical practices and views on the dead. However, there still remains data from European countries that still holds valuable information on the mortality rates of infants during this era.
In developed countries, starting around 1880, death rates decreased faster among women, leading to differences in mortality rates between males and females. Before 1880, death rates were the same. In people born after 1900, the death rate of 50- to 70-year-old men was double that of women of the same age.
Alternatively, if a human population density based on that of modern medium to large-bodied carnivores, whose median density is 0.0275 individuals per km 2 and whose mean density is 0.0384 individuals per km 2, is used, a total Afro-Eurasian human population of 2,120,000 to 2,950,000 is obtained.
Influenza significantly contributed to England's unusually high death rates for 1557–58: [37] [7] Data compiled on over 100 parishes in England found that the mortality rates increased by up to 60% in some areas during the flu epidemic, [7] even though diseases like true plague were not heavily present in England at the time.
