This article is talking about a correlation they see between the natural lifespan of animals in the wild and then applying it to humans and getting 38. Lifespan in this context is like the lifespan they give for humans currently which is 73 world wide. This is a statistical average that takes into account people dying at a few months and at 102. It does not say anything about health or that the we have some sort of genetic deathclock. What it is likely showing is when we are sorta officially getting old. When you don’t heal as fast and your reflexes and such may be not at top form. and that is not necessarily 38 as its unclear how the number is derived vs methlyization. The 38 number would be for a state like animals. Before domestication, before farming, etc. And again its a stastical average and a particular animal can live much longer be it wild animal or when homo sapiens were. Honestly I could definately tell a loss of for lack of a better term lets call “youth”. Basically what I had going in to 30 was gone by the end of 30 and a new normal arose. If you look at it you can sorta see how we start as babies and pretty much you get more powerful as you get older through your first third of life so about 30. Next third goes down slowly but by and large maintains decently. Last third or after 60 you get things falling off faster and its hard to maintain like before. So figure in a random fight of a 35 year old and 55 year old the 35 may have an advantage but you would be a fool to think its a slam dunk. 25 vs 65 though and yeah the 65 may win but I think some luck will be needed. Again this is assuming some sort of typical. If the old guy is the mighty atom and the young guy is some super pussy like donald trump in his prime then its a different story.
