“Even if you followed your bloodline back a mere thousand years, your ancestors survived war, famine, plagues, disease, and hardships you cannot imagine. Even three hundred years ago, the average life expectancy was only forty-three years and for every ten children born, six never survived to adulthood.” “That’s bloody grim.” “And yet, against almost insurmountable odds, you are here today because generation after generation of your forebears survived.”
― Keith A. Pearson, The Way We Thunk
