AHS18 Michael Rose - Evolutionary Biology of Diet, Aging, and Mismatch.


Michael Rose speaks about antiaging,aging and evolution.  He is a researches who took flies and evolved a group of them to have extraordinary longevity through multiple rounds of selective breeding.  The key intervention was causing them to reproduce later and later by destroying the early eggs if I recall correctly.

Overtime a series of changes occurred that allowed the insects to live longer and longer while remaining healthy and youthful.
