To be fair (to be faaaaaair), average life expectancy then, and throughout basically all of history, was dramatically reduced by super high infant/child mortality. Most people who made it to adulthood lived a lot longer than 40. Darwin was actually a pretty normal age to die even then. Especially since he wasn't subject to the other big killer of the young, dying in childbirth.

To be clear, I'm not endorsing whatever the hell this meme is, I'm just super into history and life expectancy is a really interesting topic (to me, at least, I'm sure most people think it's super lame).
