Re: Why do humans live so damn long?

If you're asking for the biological reasons behind the long childhoods, I have no idea, I assume it's how long it takes for our brains to be functional enough. If you're asking why we pushed to extend it even longer, as long as possible, it's because we wanted to. People want to live as long as they can, as long as they're living reasonably well. I think most people don't lose the ability to feel happiness. Well, depression and other mental illnesses are a thing, but a lot of them are treatable.

DA

We're born less developed and able to fend for ourselves than a lot of other mammal babies, because of our big brains and the way the human body is designed to walk upright. If we were born at the same developmental stage as, say, a puppy, our heads wouldn't fit though the pelvis. So all humans are born somewhat "premature."
