I believe that Leonid Gavrilov speculated in a recent JAAM article
that some of the extension in longevity we are observing may be
due to better maternal nutrition and/or nutrition during early
development. It makes sense if one postulates that it may lead
to an increase in the pool of available stem cells that one
can utilize later in life.
So there may be both intelligence and longevity gains from better
nutrition.
