Ageing is a ubiquitous, detrimental phenomenon experienced by almost every known uni- and multi-cellular species. The hallmarks of ageing are conserved from worm to man and suggest an origin deep in evolutionary history. However, how such an obviously detrimental process could be maintained, despite the obvious negative selection it would be subjected to, has been a much-debated topic for over a century. The most widely accepted explanation is that ageing is a consequence of evolution. It arises from the preferential selection of alleles with positive fitness effects early in life even if those alleles lead to degeneration later in life. This antagonistic pleiotropy (AP) theory of ageing has received some experimental support but to date, n...
