Does Aging Stop?

Does Aging Stop? reveals the most paradoxical finding of recent aging research: the cessation of demographic aging. The authors show that aging stops at the level of the individual organism and explain why evolution allows this. The implications of this counter-intuitive conclusion are profound and aging research now needs to accept three uncomfortable truths. First aging is not a cumulative physiological process. Second the fundamental theory that is required to explain manipulate and probe the phenomena of aging comes from evolutionary biology. Third strong-inference experimental strategies for aging must be founded in evolutionary research not cell or molecular biology. The result of fifteen years of research bringing together new applications of evolutionary theory new models for demography and massive experimentation Does Aging Stop? advances an entirely new foundation for the scientific study of aging.
