Also we died at a young age. Everyone dying at 40 isn't incompatible with the species surviving but it's what advice like that is usually trying to avoid (and even less extreme outcomes).

So up until about two or three years ago when everyone suddenly became terrified of "particulates", people died at 40?

The concept of everyone dying at 40 is a myth/misunderstanding anyways - the reality was a lot more bimodal than that.
