Empirical laws of survival and evolution: their universality and implications.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 21 Dec 1999

Azbel' M Y

Abstract excerpt

Presented analysis of human and fly life tables proves that with the specified accuracy their entire survival and mortality curves are uniquely determined by a single point (e.g., by the birth mortality q(0)), according to the law, which is universal for species as remote as humans and flies. Mortality at any age decreases with the birth mortality q(0). According to life tables, in the narrow vicinity of a...
