Aging is not senescence: a short computer demonstration and implications for medical practice.

Clinics (Sao Paulo, Brazil) - 1 May 2009

Monaco Thiago Oliveira, Silveira Paulo Sergio Panse

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: The discussion regarding the evolution of aging is almost as old as Darwinian Evolution Theory, but to date, it has remained one of biology's unresolved problems. One issue is how to reconcile natural selection, which is understood as a process that purges deleterious characteristics, with senescence, which seems to offer no advantages to the individual. METHOD: A computer simulation that...
