Does Aging Stop? - Evolutionary Biologist Michael Rose's 55 Theses
This blog is a record of a conversation that I will have with Michael about his 55 Theses.
At the heart of the challenge of the 55 theses is this idea – That most of our health is not dependent on the health institutions but on evolved biology. If we fit our lives closely to our evolutionary design, then we will age well.
Such an insight transforms our world. It puts control of our health back into our own hands. It means a shift away from mechanistic intervention to a holistic perspective of health. A holistic view based not on conjecture and hope but one based on the rules of nature.
