Do we really have credible figures for that? I mean, it’s been reported that Methuselah allegedly lived for almost 1,000 years, also.

It is based on the percentage of people (generally men) in primitive societies who die as the result of violence. The numbers are small because the groups are small-but the percentages are high. For example See also Steven Pinker’s Better Angels of Our Nature
