      I think overall, the quality of life as an average has stayed the same in 5000 years. Back then, there were certain people who were well off and others who weren't; it's the same today. For the 200-250 million Americans that live well, there are nearly 50 million living in poverty. And America is one of the best countries to live in, in terms of quality of life. Have you ever been to Mexico? Would you ever want to break your leg in Mexico and have to go to a Mexican hospital?

      And Africa is a whole continent were the amount of people living in a high quality of life I could probably count on my two hands.
      I would say quality of life today is far better for humans than it was 5000 years ago. Even being relatively poor in america today is living like a king compared to what it was like being poor 5000 years ago.

        5000 years ago? Do we have much data on quality of life back then?

              Please. There is plenty of evidence that indicates life was harder 5000 years ago, but Im not just talking about quality of life.

                  Can you describe a day in the life of an Ancient Roman? Someone living in Ancient Athens? Peking?

                  This is a difficult task for people with PhD's... let it go Calig.

                    Quality of life is a relative concept. Most archaeo-anthropologists agree that people didn't work such long hours. Then again, they tended to be dead before hitting 35.

                          How long you live is a good indication of the quality of your life.
