That ancestor is way too old and by a long shot, the average prehistoric lifespan was around twenty years.

And who's to say they wouldn't have panicked also at being surrounded by twenty brands of cheddar jalapeño onion ranch cheese puffs and a hundred similar sugar flavors of sugar-filled cereal with a sugar coating on top as part of this complete nutritious breakfast?

Average lifespan is heavily influenced by infant mortality. If you made it to age 20 without dying there was a good chance you would make it to 60+.
