Why are there animals that live seemingly infinitely long lives, and why are animals that die fast relatively higher in evolutionary terms?

Why would natural selection prioritize life forms that die faster?

Natural selection does not control every aspect of an organism or evolution in general. Natural selection is not the only process that drives evolution. The majority of genes are not selected for or against.

after successful breeding, it doesnt matter too much how long the organism survives, in selection terms.

Quoted By:

because the ability for an individual to survive doesn't matter in natural selection. only the population as a whole.
quicker turnover->more opportunity for advantageous mutation
did you think about this for a second?

Quoted By:

It doesn't matter how long an organism lives, only whether or not it's able to survive long enough to procreate. Plenty of moth species have really short lives for example. Also it's wrong to assume natural selection prioritizes more complex organisms, simple organisms are doing just as fine.

Why isn't the entire ocean filled with immortal jellyfish?

Higher reproduction rate so faster evolution and adaptation

Your paradigm of trips is non-scientific.

Storing up knowledge has been meta for a while -- archives, files, and memory.

Moreso, personality has conversations "amongst clarity", topics "tight", communities "beautiful"..

Quoted By:

Many reasons
1: Long life = long incubation, slow metabolism, and/or long sexual maturity
2. Short Life = zerg rush
If you live for too long as a sexually active/fertile organism, the genetic evolution would be slow and make you vulnerable to fast changing environment.
Prey animals are the most difficult to drive to extinction because they breed fast and evolve fast.
Predators are often the ones that go extinct first because they cannot adapt as fast

>>12100270 and >>12100280 were for this.

I posted a similar notion elsewhere, of previous response..
