The Biology of Longevity and Reproduction

This chapter explores the connection between reproduction age and lifespan in animals, unveiling significant zoological rules that link early reproduction with shorter lifespans. It examines how environmental factors, genetic mechanisms, and evolutionary adaptations, particularly within human contexts, influence longevity. The discussion also extends to dietary choices and historical narratives that challenge current pessimism about longevity, emphasizing the need for an optimistic perspective on health advancements.
