I'm not sure that this is truly so unpopular.

I mean, historically, the majority of humans were meant die shortly after being born, with women dying in childbirth, and men dying young in wars. Those that lived those parts may have died from malnutrition or diseases/injuries today that are annoyances instead of being fatal.
With current use of antibiotics in farming; disease and injury will soon be very fatal again. At least we can hope for a reset of the infinite growth issue.
The world did indeed used to be a brutal place. I guess I'm trying to understand what conclusion you're trying to draw.
The OP picture says "humans were never meant to be" something. That language suggests that either we're biologically designed to be something else (which I don't think that person was saying) or that human society was designed to support something better that is less anxious or depressed. I'm pointing out (not too seriously) that that isn't the case either and that prior human societies were actually "designed" to be far far worse.
Realistically no one designed anything, so I'm having a lighthearted poke at the premise of OP's picture.
