Why did we make them out of meat? It’s weak stuff, needs a framework just to sit there doing nothing, and it starts decomposing almost immediately. It’s amazing they last as long as they do.
Cellulose would have been a better choice — just look at the redwoods, so strong, so old, real works of genius. Granite looks good, although it’s heavy and so dense no amount of evolution could make it sentient, but it has an impressive shelf life.
For real longevity, though, polyethylene is the way to go. That stuff never breaks down. It’s hard to believe meat invented it.
