The book "The Evolution of Aging: An Adaptive Program" presents an innovative perspective on aging genetics, proposing the Demographic Theory of Senescence to explain its adaptive significance.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 243 pages
Publication date: 31 March 2021
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


Although books exist on the evolution of aging, this is the first book written from the perspective of again as an adaptive program. It offers an insight into the implications of research on aging genetics, the Demographic Theory of Senescence, whereby aging has been affirmatively selected because it levels the death rate over time, helping stabilize population dynamics and prevent extinctions.
