Yes . Three out of ten survived.
They died mostly very early - before they were two.
Were the survivors the best choice ? Who can say.
But they were the most resilient.
Of what did they die ?
Respiratory , digestive , and mostly ignorance.
In 1880 the people lived with their noses in the air
but their minds were in the black middle ages.
