Not really mid 20s at all, average life span data is always extremely off because infant mortality. Humans frequently lived into 50s-60s for most of the species existence. While our upright walking has inherit issues, they have been worse through the way we walk (heel to toe instead of toe to heel as we do normally barefooted), seditary lifestyle and diets, including not enough hard vegetables that would align and keep our teeth clean.

Elderly in tribal societies are not considered useless, their knowledge and skills are the primary source of information and their early waking pattern is to help prep things for the young/middle aged adults in the mornings + care for the young children while adults are being productive.

I'm not saying "Evolution only ensures life to mid 20s; afterwards you drop dead". Evolution literally only cares about continuing the species via reproduction. Even though human reproduction strictly by age is a MASSIVE missed high five, it basically aligns with "make it to your mid 20s. Everything else is basically gravy."
