without issue

Infant and maternal mortality? Childhood disease? Loss of teeth? Local diseases/parasites?

Just because they're surviving doesn't mean their lives are without issue. Would you want to revert 60000 years to their level of technology? Would they want to go back to the village if they were given this same choice?

I'm among the majority of humans who don't use Facebook. I'm not too worried about it!
