Not enough disagreement in the transcripts to form camps. These are the positions taken by people with demonstrated expertise on this topic first, then by how many people heard them on it, then by VoiceRank.
Evolution does not prioritize lifespan itself but rather selects for fitness, which can lead to biological traits that provide benefits early in life while causing aging later on.
