Why Do We Age?
Why do some animals have a longer lifespan than others?
Is aging preprogrammed, like rust on a tin, or is it inevitable?
Answers to these questions can improve health in a dramatic way. My most recent piece for BioViva Science is a concise review of the comparative biological of aging.
The piece is a whirlwind of images, from oversexed marupials to happy Axolotls.
The piece was too long for Medium.
What is aging? Why do some animals have a longer lifespan than others? What is the cause of different lifespans? What can we learn about aging from comparative biology?
