Comment on Is it true that the natural lifespan of humans is only 38 years old and we only live past that because of loads of modern medicines/technology?

Life expectancy can be affected by things like infant deaths, disease, etc.

lifespan is the age an animal is designed to live for. The study (which was published in Nature btw) implies that humans reaching past 38 is unnatural and only a result of luck and modern technology.
