Conceptual Breakthroughs in The Evolutionary Biology of Aging 1st Edition

Conceptual Breakthroughs in The Evolutionary Biology of Aging (1st Edition) by Kenneth R. Arnold; Michael R. Rose

Capture your curiosity with a landmark exploration of why organisms age. This authoritative volume brings together bold new thinking and rigorous evidence to reframe aging as an evolutionary process—essential reading for researchers, graduate students, clinicians, and interdisciplinary scholars across biology, gerontology, and public health.

Dive into clear, compelling chapters that translate advanced theory into accessible insight. The authors illuminate core concepts—life-history theory, trade-offs, antagonistic pleiotropy, and experimental evolution—while connecting them to contemporary laboratory and field studies. Expect lucid explanations, critical synthesis, and provocative questions that challenge conventional views and inspire fresh research directions.

Why this book matters: it not only summarizes major advances but also provides a conceptual toolkit for designing experiments, interpreting aging patterns across species, and informing translational approaches to human healthspan. Whether you’re studying fruit flies in a lab, analyzing longitudinal human data, or teaching a course in evolutionary medicine, this volume sharpens understanding and sparks innovation.

Globally relevant and academically robust, Conceptual Breakthroughs in The Evolutionary Biology of Aging is tailored for the international scientific community—from North America and Europe to Asia and beyond. With engaging prose and meticulous scholarship, it’s an essential addition to university libraries, research groups, and personal collections.
