Human Senescence: Evolutionary and Biocultural Perspectives (Cambridge Studies in Biological and Evolutionary Anthropology) Book

It is only comparatively recently in evolutionary terms that humans have developed late-life survival, but much of the research on senescence is based on isolated cells, worms, and fruit flies, which may be only of peripheral relevance to human aging. Combining anthropological, gerontological and biocultural evidence, Human Senescence explores why humans came to grow old as slowly as we do, and what impacts this has on our health and lives today, and will make fascinating reading for students of anthropology and all those interested in how we live and die.Read More
