I don't get it; I mean, I understand the idea of selection bias but what does that have to do with grandparent's point?
OK, a relatively large percent of hunter-gatherers die due lack of antibiotics & other modern medicine. But gp isn't claiming it'd be a good idea to return to a full hunter-gatherer lifestyle. They're just observing that "this is what a biologically normal, healthy homo sapiens looks like". And if you go to the gym you might replicate that -- presumably without incurring the fate of short-lived hunter-gatherers.
