everything on this earth has a certain time span to live , some longer and some shorter than others but you can all agree humans get about 100 or less. Why that number? is the purpose just to reproduce? But why about 100

When we improve the quality of the food, the air and our attitude, life will be longer. Stress and lifestyle bring us down. Who knows what we can do when we spend more on quality of life, health and preventive medicine than we do on killing people. It's a death oriented world, I don't expect anything else from that mind set. Survival of the fittest indeed. I guess man is not the fittest as we care killing ourselves. The roaches will be the fittest if we don't learn to co-operate. Even ants know enough to do that.

The only reason it is 100 is because of medical advances, it used to be a lot lower. I think it will continue to increase as we gain more knowledge and understanding of the human body. The average age depends on our natural life span, disease and fatal accidents.
Now we have mapped our DNA, that research will take us well beyond 100 years.

Probably God. Or just the natural order of things. We were probably not meant to know these things.
