The filth was horrible and often toxic.
They wore the same home-made underwear over and over.
They made a lot of their own clothing.
They grew most of their own food.
Most of our ancestors lived in huts with dirt floors and thatched roofs
Our ancestors ate gruel
The astonishing growth in prosperity is one of the greatest events ever.
They built their own dwellings.
The enrichment of the last centuries is the hockey stick of human prosperity
