   For some reason humans have evolved to get old and degenerate.  Some   
   birds reproduce out to a century of age.  There was a recent article

   through menopause in order to survive longer.  We depend on our culture,

   cultural integrity by extending the lives of some members of the clan,   
   but your ancestors are direct competitors, and it looks like humans were   
   never selected for lengthy survival after their reproductive years.
