During the past 6 months I took the habit of researching the existing academic literature on species which seem to defy the wear and tear we humans experience as we age. I tried to find common patterns, common development pathways or common environments. I am still not through with reading everything that has been published…… Continue reading Why do some species escape senescence? part I
