Evolvability, Population Benefit, and the Evolution of Programmed Aging in Mammals.

Biochemistry. Biokhimiia - 1 Dec 2017

Goldsmith T C

Abstract excerpt

Programmed aging theories contend that evolved biological mechanisms purposely limit internally determined lifespans in mammals and are ultimately responsible for most instances of highly age-related diseases and conditions. Until recently, the existence of programmed aging mechanisms was considered theoretically impossible because it directly conflicted with Darwin's survival-of-the-fittest evolutionary...
