Average life expectancy can get extremely low when you have high infant mortality. Like if you survived childhood you could expect to live well past 32, but your data point gets outweighed if someone who has like 5 kids who don't survive to puberty. Without modern medicine a lot of shit can happen between "getting pregnant" and "your child turns 6." Of course there was also food precarity, frequent famines, and theft by landlords against peasants in extreme poverty.
I believe war is the reason it dips below 32 at certain points. Ofc there is a bit of historical guesswork bc it's not like we have accurate comprehensive data from 1850.

War contributes too. Not as much obviously but China is famous for millions dying in wars, usually young men under 30.
Don't start thinking you're the next incarnation of Jesus, folks.

in many cultures children were often not named until they turned at least 6
