On the first chart, we see that humans are definitely an outlier. Slide us back to the left and see where we would "naturally" be without modern medicine and we should live around 35 years. This lines up nicely with historical data[1].
Life expectancy at birth of both humans and Neanderthals pre-agriculture (Upper Paleolithic), is also just over 30 years. That works out to be almost exactly 1 billion heartbeats and correlates well with the regressions, according to those charts.
Given the above, it is kind of amazing how long humans remain fertile, even without modern medicine [worrying sigh - parents just don't tell you these things].
My point is that life expectancy is a useless metric in this context as here we're interested in average life span of a person that survived childhood.
