1899 upper class Liverpool = 136 newborns out of 1000 would die before the age of 1
Working class = 274 infant deaths per 1000 births
Impoverished slums = 509 infant deaths per 1000 births
Alexander Finlaison reported = 1/2 of all children of farmers, laborers, artisans, & servants died before 5th birthday compared to 1 in 11 children of the land owning gentry
So I personally would take some convincing things in the Neolithic were better than that.
Not much to do with the Neolithic but keeping with the political(ish) :
UN data for contemporary infant mortality per 1000 .UK= 4.19 ,
US =5.97 . Africa has the bottom ten countries at 70 - 90 .
60 years ago only six countries in Africa were in the bottom ten , but the rates were 250 per 1,000 .
