Evolutionary Explanations of the “Actuarial Senescence in the Wild” and of the “State of Senility”

1 Jan 2006

Abstract excerpt

A large set of data suggests that progressive reduction of fitness and senile decay in vertebrates are in correlation with the decline of cell replication capacities. However, the limits in such capacities are hardly explained in evolutionarily terms by current gerontological theories that rule out fitness decline as something genetically determined and regulated, and therefore somehow favored by natural...
