Message Subject Why has Evolution limited the human lifespan to approx. +/- 75 years?
Poster Handle Anonymous Coward
Post Content
Civilisation negates evolution.

In nature the weak would die while the strong survive.

The 75 year mark is more down to nutrition and medicine than genetics.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10957386



That still is no explanation to the "magical" boundary of +/-75 years.
It is quite easy to live much shorter, but somehow - on a statistical level - nearly impossible to top this number.
Why? How did evolution built in a trigger to cut short our lifespan?
Even the exceptions of this rule hardly reach 120 and 150 is unheard of, even, or especially in our advanced societies.
So where does this limit come from?

There's end caps coded into DNA that grow weaker with every cycle.

They dictate how long cells subdivide.
