My eyes saw but my mind did not perceive. Thanks.
I suspected a rather small sample and 750 tooth fossils from successive time periods is small.

Society's still being shaped by old age. The older I get the more my "society" changes.

And it would have encouraged the passing of information from old and experienced individuals to younger generations, the "grandmother hypothesis"- grandmothers are useful because of the knowledge they hand on to their reproductive-age daughters, and their daughters' children. The Barakamites see no value to the elderly! Throw'em under the bus!!!

Absolute nonsense. If the average life span had been 25 years, a figure which seems to be way too low, according to the authors the average longevity would then have jumped up to 100. Yes, it seems unlikely to me too. I'm going to guess that what they meant to say was that the percentage of humans who lived to be old enough to be grandparents quadrupled (from some presumably small number).
