seems kinda plausible, but yeast is only superficially close to humans, being single celled, rapidly dividing and stuff

I was single celled at one point.

And that single cell was as silly as yeast, no differentiation, no friends nearby to speak to, to tell you to divide or not. yeast also divides asymmetrically to age
