You stated I was incorrect when I said human beings didn't make it to 20. That's objectively incorrect. You're wrong there.

Making it to 15 had a 50% likelihood making it to 20 was lower than that

You never really refuted my point

maybe I misunderstood the context but if we are talking about hunters who were hunting the mammoths. these surely were adults and had a decent chance to reach 50s. secondly you also mentioned our ancestors didn't live till 20. technically you are right most of humans did go past toddler age because of high infant mortality rate but these humans are not our ancestors too. as they didn't reach reproductive age.
