The life-spans of the monarchs of the Crown of Castile (1230-1715) who died between 1230 and 1522 provide the answer to your question. Most people of the Crown of Castile era lived to the age of 49 (but a few people lived to the age of 50) at that time. People began to regularly live to age 60 or older in the 1700s.
Most of them lived until they died.
Our human civilization started 5000BC, and we didn't know about the Western hemisphere till about 1400AD......6400 year were the humans separated, then we got back together with Columbus (1492).
On average, around 5 foot 4 for males, 4 foot 11 for females, and 3 foot 2 for Hobbits (all three genders). The potatoes and tomatoes brought back by Magellan increased those values by a good inch over the next century, even though they'd begun to go a bit bad over that length of time.
