With low average life expectancy, and regular deadly epidemics once we moved out of “isolated bands of Hunter-Gatherers” stage.
These epidemics never threatened us as a species - just as covid doesn’t threaten us now, but we’re highly disruptive geopolitically and economically - just as covid is now.
Anyway, things got better for us once science and medicine got their footing on this issue. A whole lot better.

@QuixoticSoul several plaques did significant risk human existence! The concept of herd immunity probably limited the deaths and allowed continuation of the species.
Would you want to go back even a couple of hundred years ago, to the time when having 5 or more children was common as was having only 1 or 2 reach adulthood?
