Doubtless, there are a lot indirect advantages that can be passed on to next generations by longevity. It does seem also that a lot of people ARE in fact living longer, although it would probably be more due to the living conditions and better knowledge of the body requirements.

Regarding the fish -- it really depends on what you call living. AFAI understand, there are bacteria that also have the possibility to live near endlessly; however, you would be hard pressed to determine the "original" speciman, due to their multiplication by division. I wouldn't be surprised if the further down the chain of complexity you go, the more there would be organisms that can survive eternally, assuming external factors are favourable.
