Integrating evolutionary and molecular genetics of aging.

Biochimica et biophysica acta - 1 Oct 2009

Flatt Thomas, Schmidt Paul S

Abstract excerpt

Aging or senescence is an age-dependent decline in physiological function, demographically manifest as decreased survival and fecundity with increasing age. Since aging is disadvantageous it should not evolve by natural selection. So why do organisms age and die? In the 1940s and 1950s evolutiona...
