First, it seems clear that there is a evolutionary benefit to outliving reproductive age or women would not have evolved to undergo MENOPAUSE... Grandmother hypothesis anyone?

Second, I'm not sure what you mean with respect to men since men can reproduce even in old age...

So, no

Based on points 1 and 2 above, I don't see the argument agree that we evolved to die early and, thus, we must trick evolution by eating newfangled factory foods and gulping expensive pharmaceuticals.
