I am not sure about every species. But recently I was looking at our family tree, and we have detailed records dating back to the 1840's. Basically there are distinct lines within family branches where the whole direct line of the descendants died at paticular ages, within a 5 to 7 year window. This was interesting as I am trained in naturopathic medicine. I was taught, and have believed for years, lifestyle choice is what determines health and wellbeing. But by what I see looking at the paper evidence of our family lines this is not necessarily true. Family lines either died in their mid 60's or mid to late 80's. This is true of what we see in our family today. Despite good or bad food or lifestyle choices members of our family are still dying according to their genetically inherited predisposition. Including a grandfather of mine who smoked for more than 70 years and died at 91. Ask many researchers and they will quietly tell you genetic predisposition trumps lifestyle choices.
