Stress targets energy carriers. Genes for stress resistance are selected that convey high metabolic efficiency enabling adaptation to the energetically restrictive and hence stressful environments of natural populations. Data from experimental organisms and from humans are consistent with a primary role for stress resistance underlying life span, which provides a hitherto neglected procedure for assaying...
