If nature wants us dead by 30 or 40 there's no one to look after offspring unless you get your kids when you're 15

Or you get kids with a 15 year old girl when you're 45ish

Well people actually bred very early back in the day and that short life span was enough to make sure that just fittest offspring survived. They didn't care about finishing a college, getting a job and being a "proper citizen and human being" lol... it was more important whether you can kill well and not get killed.
It's our times phenomenon - living way over 30.

Nature can't want anything. "Mother Nature" is just a term not a real being....or in this case a God or some kind of Voodoo princess. Also you don't "get" kids like you get sick or get a car, you have intercourse with someone of the opposite sex which sometimes produces a baby.

Yes, way over 30. People today are living more than twice and sometimes three times as long as that.

Peoples' life expectancy was slightly lower than it currently is in the past, but not by much. Most people died during childbirth or early childhood which gives you the 'life expectancy at birth' stats. If you managed to stay alive past early childhood you could expect to live a long life. ie 60+

That is even counting in the infant death rate back then. Some may've lived quite long, but that was a rare exception, not a norm. A few thousand years ago that may've been feasible, but the more back we go, the less chances for an older person to susrvive in a wild nature.

Well that is true.
