Unless you have a really conscious and socially adept mechanism to force a people to renew themselves, this sets in.
This is exactly the problem we need to solve as well if we ever manage to increase the human lifespan. Instead of society advancing one funeral at a time (c.f. Max Planck on science) as in the past, permanent change would have to come from every individual at a much higher rate than now.
