That life expectancy argument is a little misleading. I have studied this with respect to the Romans and what was found is that the reason life expectancies were so low through most of history was because of the infant mortality rate. Very few kids actually made it out of childbirth - which dramatically reduces the life expectancy. If you take this into consideration one historian argued that the average life expectancy in Rome times would have actually been in the 60's.
Just food for thought.
But anyways, I would imagine that the 1 - 10 numbers changes
quite frequently for most people. I probably hover between 7 - 9
on a regular basis.

Infant deaths are no walk in Guell Park either.
