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 . Yes, but as you've hinted at, my question would be why assume a high infant mortality in the Neolithic? (I am assuming that is the case in any published figures.)
