Our world in data pushes a clear agenda, and it isn't really to be trusted.

Consider: https://ourworldindata.org/child-mortality-in-the-past

From this article: "Researchers also collected data about hunter-gatherer societies. The 17 different societies include paleolithic and modern-day hunter-gatherers and the mortality rate was high in all of them. On average, 49% of all children died.[5]"

This is cited as coming from: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S10905...

Which categorically states: "Unfortunately there simply is not enough direct paleodemographic archaeological data to make definite claims about the global patterns of infant and child mortality rates of our Paleolithic hunter–gatherer ancestors."

The author of the Our World in Data piece seemingly intentionally conflates the proxy with actual archaeological evidence of the actual child mortality rates. Given the clear warning in the cited article about making definite claims, I cannot read the deception any other way.

After seeing this error, I do not know how you could possibly trust anything they have to say on the matter.
