Interesting fact about life expectancies at birth-if they are low, it is usually due to HIGH infant mortality rates. People who survive to, say, 15 in these countries would then have a considerably higher life expectancy then when they were born.

A mixture of heavy AIDs and the inability to handle it also has to have something to do with these. The poorer states in southern Africa take the bottom four spots. Meanwhile Botswana is curiously absent even with the worst AID's epidemic.

@zephos-thats because botswana is more highly developed than the rest of southern africa, so they are more capable of handling the aids epidemic
