Topic: Senescence
Question: How does senescence play a role in natural selection?
Thesis: We can only begin to understand and look into post-reproductive life spans if we start with the changes that are happening in our own environment and how that is going to effect our health (directly relating to how we will age).
Please check out my presentation here.
My sources are below:
- Child (1915, pp. 465, 194) who has written a book on the subjects of "Senescence and Rejuvenescence" states "Senescence is a characteristic and necessary feature of life and occurs in all organisms," and "That a process similar to senescence has occurred in the evolution of the higher organisms from the lower is suggested by various lines of evidence."
Senescense → natural selection → natural selection of species
