Smart people would generally get biological immortality earlier than others, and also expand to space earlier.

No, they were mad that he was being called a professor despite not actually being a professor and that he was using some of their computers for research purposes when he didn't have clearance to. Hey, if he's using 1% of the entire server power trying to model some shit so we don't die of old age even though he's not supposed to, I'm for it. But my hopes for anti-aging research don't stem completely from Aubrey, so I'm not worried.

I'm going to conjure a reason out of my ass. It could be that organisms that didn't die of old age relatively quickly ran out of a food source and then they starved to death. Organisms with limited lifespans reproduced and thrived more than deathless beings.

This will be fixed, soon enough.
