The definition of life-history patter is: an organism's pattern of reproduction; may be rapid or slow (short or long).

Short (rapid) life-history patterns are common among organisms from changeable environments. Rapid life-history organisms have a small body size, mature quickly, reproduce early, and have a short life span. Long (short) life-history patterns are large species that live in more stable environments that usually have slow life-history patterns. Elephants, bears, whales, humans, and plants, such as trees are long lived.

Why is having a long credit history with a few blemishes that were corrected better than a short history that is clear?

Simply because... with a long credit history, a prospective lender can see how you have operated your credit facility over a considerable period. Nobody's credit history is perfect - everyone has at least 1 or 2 lapses on their record. Having just a short credit history doesn't show 'trends' or patterns of (perhaps) persistent late payments.
