I mean i just want to note for a second that the aging retardant properties of humanity are one of the great miracles that puts us above other species.
Most other mammal species, including dogs, cats, camels, zebras, horses, cattle, sheep, whatever farm animal/pet you can think of typically lives no longer than 20 years, while for humans it's routinely 80 years, about 4x as long.
That, it turns out, is one of humanity's great strengths. We age significantly slower, and that includes a significantly longer childhood. Most feral animals grow up and reach puberty within 1-3 years, while for humans it takes at least 12 years (even longer if you wait to be socially accepted as an "adult"). This gives us more time to play, figure things out, learn, and develop. It is for this reason that we're able to pull off more amazing things than other species, because our long lifes warrant that getting a long, proper education is worth it. Because if we only lived for 20 years, it would hardly be worth it to study till you're 25 years old.
So, aging slower, and staying childish for longer, is actually one of humanity's great strengths. It is unfortunate, i believe, that we're trying to remove that human specialty in these days and trying to make people grow up faster.
What, why? Axolotls can regrow limbs and a jellyfish (Turritopsis dohrnii) is biologically immortal. Try that as a mere human.
And btw, please stop with that "we are above animals" thinking. That's what makes us think the world is ours alone and leads to destruction and shrinking bio diversity. And we are animals too anyway.
With that reasoning, turtles, parrots, should be put above humans?
