Vertebrate ageing: an evolutionary process with a genetic basis?

Jean-Michel Gaillard1, Christophe Bonenfant.   

Abstract

Theories that explain the persistence of ageing in the face of natural selection implicitly assume that there is a genetic basis for ageing. This has now for the first time been shown to be the case in two free-living populations of mammals.
