? For what I understand exactly the opposite is true?
Millions of years ago, mammals were nothing but tiny rats. Frequently predated by amphibians and dinosaurs.

All we could do was propagate. Propagate as much and as quickly as possible, because you would probably live just one year before you were eaten.
So no need to evolve sophisticated DNA repair mechanisms or cellular repair. What's the point of being able to evolve repair mechanisms that could make you live 500 years when you were likely eaten after one year? Just make offspring soon, evolution rewards this.
For what I understand this ancient heritage still haunts us today, as we *only* live 80-90 years.
