All babies were exclusively breastfed in 3064 BCE.

Yeah, it doesn't give totally absurd combinations (like a male dying of birth complications at age 10), but the probabilities are still likely rather rough approximations (eg. sorting cause-of-death distributions to a few bins like "infant", "child", "adult", "elder").

Strangely, I too, died in the Korean Peninsula at 8 months old, but circa 6000 BCE.

Hmm, I was at the Korean Penisula too. How representatively random is this thing?

I died of malaria at age 1 in the West African Sahel!

I died at age 36 of a workplace accident in the Yangtze delta in the year 700

Babies died of diarrhea anyway. Breastfeeding is not a panacea. If it were, doctors would simply prescribe a flask of breast milk, and mothers would earn money by prolonging lactation for Big Medicine.

I died at 1 in Mesopotamia in 3966 BCE of dysentery.
