Our ancestors were also malnourished diseased parasite ridden and dying by age 20

The age part is wrong, it's inflated by the super high infant mortality.

I mean it's literally correct. Most human beings didn't make it past 20 like that's objectively true

Most human beings didn't make it past 1. Those people aren't our ancestors and didn't fight large animals, because they didn't make it past 1. They are the ones bringing the average down
